In 1987 Pauline Hanson was divorced and alone with three children, when she borrowed money to buy Marsden’s Seafood in Ipswich, a rundown takeaway shop
She turned the business around. For eight years she worked 80 to 90 hours a week, six days a week largely by herself, to support her children and avoid going on benefits
Pauline had no parents or other family support, making it “extremely hard”
Just one of the many reasons we love her 🧡🧡🧡
