IF PAULINE Hanson hopes to perform well in Queensland, she must employ a qualified researcher and not rely on press reports or her staff for advice.

The WA election result was a lesson on what not to say or do.

A preference deal with the Liberals was dumb.

Vaccination allergy test showed lack of research.

Sacrifice part of our GST share with WA was crazy.

Sacking ONP secretary because of age or disloyalty prior to election was insensitive.

The Putin issue stinks.

Blunder after blunder resulted in stripping away her credibility, apologising for her mistakes was honourable as not many party leaders are prepared to do that, but one can only get away with that a couple of times at most.

In future Pauline needs to sack her advisors, run every topic past a qualified researcher for approval and be very careful what she says as the opposition will twist her words and blow them up out of proportion.
