I won the seat of Oxley largely on an issue that has resulted in me being called a racist. That issue related to my comment that Aboriginals received more benefits than non-Aboriginals.

My view on issues is based on common sense, and my experience as a mother of four children, as a sole parent, and as a businesswoman running a fish and chip shop.

Muslims are not compatible with the Australian way of life because they have a different region code

The majority of Aboriginals do not want handouts because they realise that welfare is killing them.

A social problem is one that concerns the way in which people live together in one society. A racial problem is a problem which confronts two different races who live in two separate societies, even if those societies are side by side.

I come here not as a polished politician but as a woman who has had her fair share of life's knocks.

Governments must give to all those who have hit life's hurdles the chance to rebuild and have a future.
