She is standing next to a political sign that reads "Belinda Gread" with a QR code at the top and a headshot of herself. Text next to her head reads "standing up for myself!" and the bottom reads "Liberal candidate for the senate". The logo for the liberal party is at the bottom right. End image ID

PAULINE PANTSDOWN

PAULINE PANTSDOWN

Pauline Hanson has been impersonated by drag queen Pauline Pantsdown, who had the hit song, I Don’t Like It (1998). Pauline Hanson and her political party One Nation became more well-known. Some people loved Hanson and others hated her. Simon Hunt, from Sydney, called himself Pauline Pantsdown and released the song I’m a Back Door Man on Triple J, which included excerpts from Hanson’s speeches. Afterward, Pantsdown released I Don’t Like It, which became a hit single.

15 for the ask game!

15. a saying, joke or hermetic meme that only someone from your country will get

I'm personally fond of "she'll be right" (usually said missing 50% or more of the vowels) but if i had to name an iconic Aussie meme it's for sure Pauline Pantsdown's "I Don't Like It", which i fully forgot actually aired on Rage until I looked it up just now

From an interview Honey and Sis had with the Divin' Wolf Pups (Bon-Bon and Ding-a-Ling) in Glorious Shortwave

SIS: If there's one thing to be fascinated about yourselves and your shared interest in diving and the diving experience, I think it would have to be the passion that you two share underwater. DING-A-LING, getting to the point about it: And I do admit that it goes back when me and Bon-Bon first met ... or perhaps even further. HONEY: Which, I understand, was at a lupine summer camp up in Minnesota's Boundary Waters region. DING-A-LING: All because of a challenge brought about by someone who turned out being something of a braggart and exaggerator. He thought the lake that the camp was situate on was some 100 feet deep, and was challenging the campers to see if any water wolf could dive to the bottom. HONEY: Then what next? DING-A-LING: It was something of a challenge for this diving wolf, limited basically to breath hold diving wearing but yourself by and large ... but then again, it turned out that the lake was some 25 feet deep, which had that boaster of a wolf caught in Pantsdown Parade more or less. But such could be said to be eye-opening, sensing just how wonderful things could actually be underwater, as well as the utter wonder of the diving experience! BON-BON, cheekily: Indeed, the dive can't help but feel rather wonderful just wearing yourself--and maybe mask and fins. DING-A-LING: Not to mention the harness, air tank, mouthpiece and weight belt. SIS, adding some levity to the whole: And, more than anything, the proverbial smile! BON-BON: What else could be wanted from the diving sensation? [Which had pretty much all laughing]

One of my absolute favourites is a drag parody song of one of Australia's most racist politicians named Pauline Hanson.

The drag performer Pauline Pantsdown (Simon Hunt) did a song using only voice clips from Pauline Hanson in 1997 and it's a fuckin banger.

Saying "I don't like it" like that is an absolutely classic Aussie meme that never gets old

Reminder that, in The Before Times (before the internet was common), almost all of our memes (not that we knew that's what they were) came from commercials or funny TV shows

before TV, they came from radio and print

before that, word of mouth (or perhaps a lot of people witnessing the same memorable action)

and, while some of those memes are still recognizable as memes today, most of them are as opaque as the next generations' memes will be to the previous generations, when there's no context. (Or as, say, Tumblr memes seem to nonTumblr users.)

(I am of the opinion that it's fun to learn the context, instead of just dismissing any other generation--past or future--as inscrutable, or, worse, having no sense of humor.)
