Dear Pauline Hanson's One Nation Supporter in NSW, 1997 has been an eventful year in Australian politics. 1997 will be remembered as the year when Australians at last said that they had had enough. Enough of the lies and deception churned out by the major political parties. 1997 will be remembered as the year that Pauline Hanson's One Nation grew from a fledgling party launched in April to a major political force with a branch network of over 200 branches. A quite remarkable achievement. An achievement which could not have been realised without the dedication and commitment of national director David Ettridge and his Manly office team. 1997 will be remembered as a year of intimidation. Intimidation by well-organised protesters with strong links to the Australian Labor Party. The violence of these protesters against the Australian way of life - giving everyone a 'fair-go' and the media's blatantly biased reporting against One Nation failed to destroy the will and desire of the people to support me. 1997 will be remembered as the year in which a few tried to cause a split in the One Nation party. They knew that the media would report anything negative about the party. And they did. No matter that in all cases it was just a handful of troublemakers who tried to hijack the party for their own political gain. They failed. Today One Nation is more than just a phenomenon it is a real living party. It is made up of people like you and me. It is part of the political fabric in Australia. Looking ahead we will face many challenges together. We must continue to fight for equality for all Australians. We must continue to fight to protect our country from becoming a slave to the multinationals and international bodies. During this Christmas break we all have the opportunity to look back and see what we have achieved and to look forward to see what has still got to be done in the coming years. I wish you and your family all the best over Christmas and the New Year. God bless and may all your dreams come true. Pauline Hanson
