The absolute best part of a Trump victory is that we get to see Australia‘s ragtag bunch of right-wing crackpots weigh in on the burgeoning nationalist revolution. They’re all very excited, see – despite the fact its hard to imagine someone like slimy lizardman Cory Bernardi seizing that kind of electoral support. I won’t speak too soon – media predictions haven’t been particularly great of late.
Pauline Hanson and her band of One Nation mutants are obviously very, very keen at what’s gone on. She appeared on TODAY discussing Donald’s shock victory, saying it was a win for “people power”.
“I just think there was a big change. We need a change right across the world. This is a revolution, it’s called people power,” she said with a beaming grin.
“People are fed up with what the major political parties have been dishing out for years, and they’re saying, no, we want change.”

She did clarify, after Karl Stefanovic inquired whether she had a crush on The Don, that she actually does not. Which sounds to me like something someone with a crush on Donald Trump would say.
“I swear to God I don’t have a crush on Donald Trump,” she said.
She also took to Twitter to say that her office door was always open.
@realDonaldTrump Mr President my door will always be open. Congrats on behalf of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party of OZ. #MAGA #auspol

Welp. Pauline Hanson is happy. Usually that’s not a good thing.
