Thread: Pauline Hanson visits LoS

I see Pauline Hanson managed to pay LoS a quick visit.

Cannot see much good coming out of this though

the story so far - Ko sarn road you can get dodgy certs which look like the real deal

calgary can get a disabled parking permit

An investigation into the growing international black market dealing in fake identity documents has come as a wake-up call for Pauline Hanson.

Identity theft and credit card fraud costs Australians a staggering $6 billion a year - that's $1.6 million a day.
Hanson has gone undercover to help smash a Southeast Asian identity fraud syndicate, where thousands of Australian identities are being traded to fund organised crime.
Our national security is under attack, with some of the most sophisticated fake documents you'll ever see.


Last year 850,000 Australians came to Thailand. Most come for a holiday, but an increasing number now arrive with criminal intentions.-
In Bangkok you can buy any form of ID, and inside the sininster black market passport trade, for a price, any identity can be stolen.
A backpacker strip forms a tourists’ playground of makeshift stores, selling counterfeit brands and trinkets that flood the footpath, and everything can be made to order.


We may be seven and a half thousand kilometres from home, yet Australia's presence is everywhere. You can easily find any Australian driver’s license; university card; degrees from Sydney University - complete with authentic watermark and gold seal; Medicare cards; press cards; disabled parking permits; and even Qantas staff cards.
Pauline Hanson has travelled to expose what she believes is a failure of the Australian and Thai Governments to protect innocent Australians from having their personal details stolen. Identity crime here is rising ten per cent every year, costing Australians $6 billion annually.
Since her time in public office, Hanson has heard countless stories of identity crime. Now she's taken it to the streets of Bangkok to highlight how serious it is to all of us.


“It's all very undercover. They know it's illegal, they know what they're doing is wrong. I have no doubt that our Government, our authorities, know it's happening here. So why hasn't something been done about it,” Hanson asked.


To prove how prevalent the fraud is, a new identity has been created for Hanson, flaunting just how farcical the system is by turning Pauline into the most high profile woman in Australia - Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
Walking from vendor to vendor buy new identity documents, Hanson buys a fake driver’s license, a Medicare card, a Qantas staff card and an OHS card for between $30 and $50 a card. All of it is done right in front of police, who are too busy posing for photos to pay any attention. The sellers confirm they've got the police on side.
“I’m disgusted with the whole lot - being able to buy these identity cards, and they look so real. The bottom line is that the law abiding Australian citizens would not be buying them - they would not be forking out $50 a card, that’s the bottom line, so here we have people who intend to use them for fraudulent reasons,” Hanson said.
It's what happens next that should put the Australian Federal Police on high alert: a vendor says he can get an authentic Australian passport by the next day.
It turns out that the woman he is working with is in charge of the entire fake ID operation in Bangkok, sending back all the money to bosses in Malaysia.
She tells us she has made six Australian passports in the last month. If we want one, it will take three days to make and cost $3,500. The passport can have any name - anyone's stolen identity or one that’s completely made up.
“What degree are these being used back in Australia? Are they being used to open up bank accounts? Are they being used to go and apply for jobs? Have we got illegals who have now got these identities go and tap into our welfare system, or our hospital system,” Hanson asked.
Detective superintendent Brian Hay has been a member of the Queensland Police Service for 30 years. He's also in charge of the Fraud and Corporate Crime Group.
“I think it is naive to think that our identities out there aren't being copied,” Hay said. “Identities form the foundation of everything we do, so the idea that you can use a passport is not the true value of the passport, and I don’t want to get out there and educate the criminal public and how they can use it, but the real value of that passport is probably everything else other than just trying to get through a border.”

We contacted the Australian embassy in Thailand who wouldn't comment on camera. Instead referring us to the Australian Federal Police.
"The Australian Government takes identity security very seriously and is committed to combating identity crime and to protect the identities of Australians from being used for illegal purposes,” an embassy statement said.
“To combat identity crime the AFP has Identity Security Strike Teams (ISST), which are regional multi-agency teams, hosted by the AFP, dedicated to the investigation of identity-related crime, including the compromise of personal information."
For Hanson however, not enough is being done. She wants to see authorities revisit a form of Australia card - where all of your details are able to be accessed or at the very least changes made to current driver’s licenses.
“What I suggest is why don’t we have a barcode on it, so that once it’s scanned, the barcode comes up with all details, and proves what the person is.”
Hay agrees more could be done to our driver’s license to provide consumers with another level of protection.
“Say it’s scanned and rather than pop up with all your details. it may just pop up with a red light or a green light - and a red light says ‘this chip is not known to our systems’,” he proposed.

I'm off to steal some bread from a pommy cnut

So what, she got some fake Julia Gillard ID, did it pass muster anywhere? I bet it didn't.

Pauline, the new Derryn Hinch.

I see loads of them Aussie kunts getting dodgy driving licensees, what does that mean? they cant pass a simple test

^ No it means they can hire costumes (I actually know a guy who hired and kept a shit load of awesome costumes using a fake NSW driver's licence obtained on ko sahn road), work gear etc. under a false name with a false licence then fuck off with it and sell on the black market.

she's a self promoting red neck bitch, and as thick as pigshit. licenses are all on a central data base, all accessible from plods in the field incl Photographs.
your time has gone Pauline, head back to yr fish & chip shop.

You can also falsify to get a lease on a house, and even a passport, with the right dodgy documents.

^there not dodgey

The only thing worse than an opinionated Aussie 'woman' is an opinionated Aussie woman who is alive.

The NSW licence is for real as of 5 years ago. You wouldn't hand it to a cop, but you could use it with banks and stuff, and even try your luck with the passport if it was good enough. Bank accounts, credit etc, can all be established with legitimate documents stemming from this one false NSW DL. It's even possible to get a real NSW DL (not using the original fake, but other documents and ID acquired using the fake in the first place).

I would think you could copy a MediCare card fairly easily. Not sure about fake degrees, as I've never needed one. Without an insider helping you out, a D/L or passport would be a lot harder if you ask me.

But to be 100% honest, it was never really that difficult to open a bank account in Oz. At least, not compared to the UK, as we didn't use to have as strict anti-money laundering laws as they have in the EU.

But both Pauline Hanson and Today Tonight (which has to be one of the crappiest shows on OZ TV, which really is saying a lot as we do have some of the worst TV I've ever seen here), love to sensationalise things.

Pauline is still popular, mainly because she speaks what the silent majority thinks...good on her i reckon, she has her opinions and isn,t shy about sharing them, if you don,t like it stiff shit as she says

Only QLD has sufficient numbers of gullible dumb ass bigots to support her brand of of vile racism and xenophobic politics to gain any traction as a credible politician.

Here is as insight into Pauline's bigoted mind in an extract taken from a letter to a Asian/ Australian girl who expressed her dislike of One nations policies,

"You are nothing but an ungrateful, treacherous, yellow slanty-eyed little Vietnamese whore. You have... We have had enough of your lot with their drug peddling and crime. So piss off now".

Charming Pauline
Charming Pauline I think Pauline pantsdown would be a far better politician.

Says here it was written to an Asian woman by someone inspired by Ms Hanson, and it said:
Liberal Party: 1 Mar 2011: House debates (OpenAustralia.org)

^ Who knows, but from wiki

In 2004, Hanson appeared on the nationally televised ABC interview show Enough Rope. Archival footage from a 60 Minutes program shot on the streets of Ipswich was used to introduce claims about racism and bigotry in Hanson's views. Hanson challenged interviewer Andrew Denton to show her things that she had said that were racist. Denton instead responded with an example of an abusive letter sent to an Asian girl after Hanson's speeches. The contents of which included a racist tirade "You are nothing but an ungrateful, treacherous, yellow slanty-eyed little Vietnamese whore. You have... We have had enough of your lot with their drug peddling and crime. So piss off now"

but I agree with this :

In other words, some politicians are as much to blame as the thugs themselves for episodes such as the Cronulla riots and the hate crimes which continue on our streets.
