Australia’s most famous anti-immigration politician, Pauline Hanson, has declared that she herself is relocating to Britain as her home country no longer holds any opportunity for her.

Hanson’s revelation came in an interview with Woman’s Day magazine, where the controversial and polarising politician spoke of the sale of her Queensland home and desire to farewell Australia for good. Hanson told the magazine that this would be goodbye forever.

The decision was made out of a longing for peace and contentment in her life, something which Hanson has found difficult due to her political career. She is most noted for her maiden parliamentary speech where she warned that the country would soon be overrun with Asians. Hanson has also been a leading campaigner for continued reductions in immigration.

The fiery Hanson has gone on to suggest that her county, which once was a land of opportunity, has deteriorated to the extent that young people are growing into a society which is over-taxed, over-regulated and not truly represented. She also claims that she blames the lack of willingness by Australian politicians to say what they think has contributed to the current climate.

Hanson ran as an independent candidate in the Queensland state elections in 2009, where she unsuccessfully contested the Beaudesert seat. She had previously ran for a seat in 2007 on the Queensland senate where she was similarly unsuccessful, leading her to acknowledge that she would be unlikely to ever be voted into Parliament again.
