Untamed and Unashamed: The Autobiography

by Pauline Hanson

Description

In 2003, Pauline Hanson was sentenced to three years jail on convictions of fraud. She spent three months in prison before the verdict was overturned and she was released with a full withdrawal of the charges. Now, four years later, Pauline tells the story of how she came to be charged, her fight to prove innocence and of her life before and after politics. This is Pauline's story -- the good, the bad, and the ugly, because she is determined to let the public know the truth about those heady show more years and why: kept fighting for what she genuinely believed in. Pauline's book covers her time in politics and her shock discovery about what really happened behind closed political doors. The text goes to the very edge of defamation and libel -- names are named, Pauline speaks for the first time without fear or favour. This book is a truly remarkable read -- a "warts all" read told by the real Pauline Hanson! show less

Although I'm hardly a fan of Hanson's ideologies, her autobiography gave me a new respect for her as an independent-minded woman who rose from very humble beginnings to become a real force in Australian politics. Although frequently derided as "working in a fish and chip shop", did you realise she bought the struggling business and turned it into a real success? Her attitudes towards immigrants are also a bit more nuanced than generally portrayed.
