Hanson also rises
Article Abstract:
Australians who voted for the One Nation Party voted for a change, which was a vote against every other party and the Goods and Services Tax (GST). They knew that the One Nation is the only party that could deliver on its promises. John Howard and his government introduced GST out of desperation, but many contend it will not solve all the problems.
