Now to a sensational television talk show catfight with Oxley MP Pauline Hanson again under fire.
But as you'll see she gave as good as she got when she locked horns with Rose Hancock Porteous over Asian immigration.
And good evening and welcome to another episode of Beauty and the Beast. I'm Stan Zemanek and what an episode we're going to have for you tonight.
The first taste of the strange world at showbiz Pauline Hanson, high priestess of the redneck right, now star guest on a TV chat show.
But as you'll see controversy as ever was waiting in the wing.
I'm not a redneck, I'm not a racist, no I won't be called one. I'm a realist. I'm a realist in what direction I want to see this country go.
The independent member for Oxley chose not Parliament to air her views, instead this foxtel cable TV show hosted by talkback radio man Stan Zemanek.
Himself no stranger to right wing politics.
What do you think of Pauline Hanson? What do you think of her comments? What do you think of her?
Let me talk first.
Pauline Hanson as we've never seen her before talking about the role of women.
Women are very compassionate, they're very common sense, comes into a lot of it.
On her two estranged children from her first marriage.
My children, yes it will, I still love them. You see they will always be my children and I will always be their mother.
But you must have respect, you know they must respect me also.
On marriage.
Would you like to get married again?
No.
Bit gunshot?
Listen, I don't think any men could keep up with me actually.
On the media.
It's the media out there that are misconstruing what I have been trying to say and I am one very proud Australian and I'm going to stand up for what I believe in.
She had a chance to do just that a few moments later.
From Benones to Pauline, PR advisors allowed a photo opportunity to be gate crashed by reporters too, the last thing she'd have expected. Forget the showbiz, it was back to immigration and her views on Aboriginals.
Have you changed any of your views at all?
No I haven't. These people, yes they do, they need help but so does a lot of other people out there. There's a lot of Australians out there struggling, they're struggling trying to put food on the table and everything like that.
You're going from politician to celebrity status, are you reveling in that celebrity status?
I'm not reveling in it, I'm doing a job what I believe in doing.
But you were enjoying putting these points out before the public one would assume.
Enjoyment. Listen, take me out fishing for the day, that's what I enjoy.
In the middle of the media bun fight, panellist Rose Hancock Portius, the Philippine born wife of the late mining baron Lang Hancock, seized her chance.
If you really want to go to the back yard of Australia, why are you just putting your mouth on the immigration factor? Why don't you take up other issues?
Yes I have, I've covered the aboriginal issue, national service, immigration, multiculturalism, childcare and another big one I'm going to be involved in, just child care.
How much tax we Asians and other multicultural groups have put into the coffers?
Not content with that as Pauline was leaving, Rose let fly again.
My mentality is much worse than hers, my IQ is better than Pauline's.
But you weren't angry?
No I'm not angry, I asked sympathise for her because she doesn't have this.
She's not terribly bright.
What do you mean she's not terribly bright?
Well that's what you think.
She's got her foot in her mouth, did I say more?
You didn't think it was such an easy time huh?
Um, it's different to what I expected, anyway I wasn't expecting so many political questions but anyway.
Are you scared about always being a target?
I mean it seems that you're always a target these days.
Well let's face it I am.
And that's the program for tonight, thanks for being with us, I'll see you tomorrow night at 6.30, good night.
