IN RESPONSE to Jeff Taylor's letter, under the heading "Please explain” (Daily, February 27).

One Nation is the last hope for Australia to bring back leadership that is genuinely dedicated to the people.

I have spoken to pensioners who are skipping meals because their budget doesn't stretch far enough, so I'm glad that One Nation has the heart and sense to introduce a policy that will deliver $150 extra a fortnight for pensioners, returned servicemen and woman, carers, etc.

To fund this vital increase, One Nation will tax the 732 multinational companies who currently pay little to no tax in Australia.

This plan will raise some $24 billion annually in tax revenue - $10 billion of that money will go toward this sensible pension increase policy.

And here's some other good news, if One Nation holds the balance of power, we will build a coal-fired power station to help create jobs and reduce electricity costs, build a hybrid of the Bradfield Scheme to drought-proof western Queensland, we will cut immigration to "75,000 in, 75,000 out” to have zero net increase, and more positive changes.
