A Civil Action (1998)

Tony Abbot is known to be right wing. Then why did he take action against the one nation party?

Both are very right wing in their views why would Abbott?
“In 1998, Abbott established a trust fund called “Australians for Honest Politics Trust” to help bankroll civil court cases against the One Nation party and its founders, Pauline Hanson and David Ettridge.[15] Prosecution ultimately resulted in Hanson & Ettridge being imprisoned.[16] The conviction against Hanson was ultimately overturned, leading to criticism of a range of politicians for political interference by the adjudicating justice.

Yes, Tony Abbott is currently our major “right wing” party leader, but his conservative policies still tread carefully close to centre. In the past, minor right wing parties have appeared and disappeared again, many of them with some extreme religious views or policies on immigration. Pauline Hanson was the first major direct threat that the Liberal/National coalition had – her views were essentially mainstream right wing that attracted a HUGE share of primary votes (which meant fewer votes going to the Liberal party). It wasn’t Labor voters generally supporting Hanson, but right wing Liberal supporters.

With the help of left-wing leaning media, Tony Abbott was “pushed” by John Howard to get rid of the threat – and a claim of electoral funding fraud was the way they did it. Although the allegations were later determined to be false, the negative attention was enough to give the One Nation party a big hit in the polls – and they never re-gained the success they briefly enjoyed. There were many claims in the media, claiming that Ms Hanson was racist but that was was using selected quotes out of context. There was nothing Pauline Hanson actually said that could be called racist by any reasonable person.
