Ironies are fantastic. This is almost as good as Jörg Haider's visits to Slovakian prostitutes.

Pauline Hanson, the far-right, flame-haired, fish-and-chip-shop owner who campaigned for the Australian Parliament on an antiimmigration platform, complained that the country had become a harder place to live in, with fewer opportunities. She said that she was selling her property southwest of Brisbane and, after taking a cruise and visiting New Zealand, wanted to live in Britain indefinitely.

Ms Hanson’s grandfather emigrated to Australia from England in 1908 and her mother’s family are Irish. She is understood to hold dual citizenship. She will leave her four adult children behind. “Australia will always be my home. But I love England and Ireland. My mother’s family come from Limerick and my father’s from London. I love the culture,” Ms Hanson said. “Every country has something unique to offer and I want to experience that.”

She told the Australian Woman’s Day magazine: “Our governments lack enough people with the fortitude to speak up without fear or favour. Over-regulation, increasing taxes and lack of true representation are affecting our way of life.
