Pauline Hanson ctrl-c’s cannabis policy from Wikipedia

An effort like this requires a hugely respectable level of sheer laziness

Notorious racist and public spectacle Pauline Hanson has been caught out plagiarising the medical cannabis policy (among others) on her One Nation website off Wikipedia.

Pauline – as we know – is back in the news after 18 years, this time getting elected into Senate. While she’s definitely not the cleverest person out, an effort like this requires a hugely respectable level of sheer laziness – something we didn’t think Pauline had in her. Look forward to four years of shit politics and hilarious headlines.

And it wasn’t just medical dope, it was also her policy on halal food, and the Agenda 21 international sustainable development agreement. The ABC reports (hey look, we cite our sources Pauline):

“One part of One Nation’s policy on halal food — which links the religious blessing to terrorism financing — has been lifted from Frontpage Magazine — a right-wing American “battle tank, geared to fight a war” against the political left.”
