From http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/04/11/3187519.htm:
"Former One Nation leader Pauline Hanson looks likely to claim the last seat in the New South Wales Upper House.
The result will be officially declared tomorrow, more than two weeks after the state election.
ABC election analyst Antony Green estimates Ms Hanson has a lead of more than 6,000 votes over Greens candidate Jeremy Buckingham, who is also vying for the final position.
With 91 per cent of the vote counted, the Coalition has secured 11 of the 21 Upper House seats.
Labor secured five, the Greens two, and the Shooters and Christian Democrats each have one.
Before the state poll, both the major parties vowed not to preference Ms Hanson, who has moved to Corlette on the state's north coast.
But the One Nation party threw its weight behind Ms Hanson, saying it still shared many views with its one-time leader.
Last year, Ms Hanson said she was selling her home and moving to the United Kingdom but later reversed her decision.
She made her name as the independent member for Oxley in Queensland between 1996 and 1998, during which time she set up One Nation.
Ms Hanson launched a failed bid for a seat in the 2009 Queensland election, in which she gained 21 per cent of the vote in the seat of Beaudesert.
She last tried for an Upper House seat in 2003."
For those that don't know who this racist is, she is considered famous for her "maiden speech" in the Australian parliament in 1996:
"Immigration and multiculturalism are issues that this government is trying to address, but for far too long ordinary Australians have been kept out of any debate by the major parties. I and most Australians want our immigration policy radically reviewed and that of multiculturalism abolished. I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians. Between 1984 and 1995, 40 per cent of all migrants coming into this country were of Asian origin. They have their own culture and religion, form ghettos and do not assimilate. Of course, I will be called racist but, if I can invite whom I want into my home, then I should have the right to have a say in who comes into my country. A truly multicultural country can never be strong or united. The world is full of failed and tragic examples, ranging from Ireland to Bosnia to Africa and, closer to home, Papua New Guinea. America and Great Britain are currently paying the price. Arthur Calwell was a great Australian and Labor leader, and it is a pity that there are not men of his stature sitting on the opposition benches today. Arthur Calwell said: Japan, India, Burma, Ceylon and every new African nation are fiercely anti-white and anti one another. Do we want or need any of these people here? I am one red-blooded Australian who says no and who speaks for 90% of Australians. I have no hesitation in echoing the words of Arthur Calwell (http://www.revleft.com/wiki/Arthur_Calwell)."
So yeah, it's not lookin' good for Australia...
