All Australians must deplore the cheap tricks of One Nation at the expense of a decent Australian’s reputation.

From day one when Senator Burston announced he was joining the United Australia Party he has been attacked and vilified.

Australians will remember when the sprinklers were turned on at Parliament House at the campaign launch, an unprecedented event in parliamentary history.

Labor politician Cathy O’Toole also abused Brian and myself, declining us the right of free speech.

At this time the Senator confided in me that he had been subject to sexual harassment and abuse by One Nation members.

He told me he loved his wife and family and couldn’t remain with One Nation when Pauline Hanson made herself president of her party for life, like former President of Uganda Idi Amin.

Brian told me that he was an ordinary bloke who wanted to help ordinary Australians.

All Australians need a fair go.

Where I have endured relentless abuse and harassment, my resolve remains strong. It’s not fair that Senator Burston is subject to this vilification by Pauline Hanson and her hired hand James Ashby who think it’s okay to take cheap shots.

We must remember that it’s James Ashby who stole Peter Slipper’s diaries. James Ashby has a criminal record and it’s James Ashby who lives under the same roof as Pauline Hanson. It seems any way the wind blows Ashby also goes, he extorts people around him all the time.

I call on Parliament’s Presiding Officers to protect those who are being bullied and intimidated.

Federal Leader of the United Australia Party, Clive Palmer, today announced experienced government advisor and business advocate Kevin Morgan as the lead candidate for the party’s Senate team in Tasmania.

“Kevin is the ideal candidate to lead our Tasmanian Senate team that promises to put Tasmania back on the map,’’ Mr Palmer said.

“Tasmania has reached the stage where there is a chance for real change which Kevin Morgan can deliver.”

Born and bred in Tasmania, Mr Morgan learned the importance of dedication, team work and leadership as a player, coach and administrator in multiple sports.

He studied electrical engineering and began work with the Hydro Electric Commission in 1977.

Mr Morgan started and operated his own electronic monetary processing system from 1993 to 2009 before working as Adviser with the Department of Premier and Cabinet supporting Business and the McCain’s Community Taskforce from 2010 to 2013.

He has since worked as a marketing specialist for small business and has extensive campaign experience with the former Palmer United Party where he was state leader in Federal and State elections and the party’s Tasmanian co-ordinator.

“I pride myself on being an action person and fixing Tasmania’s problems with a vision and a plan and then delivering on it,’’ Mr Morgan said.

“No other party has delivered a sustainable vision and plan for Australia’s future.

“I am standing for the Senate because I am sick and tired of politicians putting Tasmania last,’’ he said.

“It is a sad situation that many Tasmanians cannot find work, resulting in declining respect for ourselves, each other and the community.

“We need investment and jobs in order to develop our towns and communities which only the United Australia Party can deliver,’’ he said.
