Whatever you may think of right wing Australian politician Pauline Hanson,Watch I was dragged into prison by my ex it's easy to agree that she's a divisive figure a la Nigel Farage and Donald Trump.
While much has been said about Hanson and her views on immigration, marriage equality or pretty much anything ever, little has come in product form. Until now.
Behold the Paulin Hanson-faced dog poo bag; a product which bears a caricature of the politician's face on it. And its sales are even benefitting refugees.
It's the creation of Melbourne-based Dirren Baines (not his real name), who told Mashablevia email he saw the idea from a reddit post featuring Donald Trump poo bags. He thought it was "quite genius," and decided to replicate his own for Australian audiences.
"The thought of making Pauline Hanson ones didn't hit me right away, however soon after she gained power and was planted all over the media again, I realised that we had our own Donald Trump right here in Australia, and thus begun planning the venture," he said.
A portion of the proceeds from the bags will to go to the Refugee Council of Australia, a representative body for organisations and people who support those seeking asylum in the country.
"I've always tried to help the underprivileged in any way that I can. Donating to the refugees seemed appropriate because they are the people Pauline Hanson's campaign of hate is targeted towards," Baines said.
"She wants to ban Muslim immigration to Australia, so I wanted to do something contrary to that, and help them instead."

Baines has received negative attention from some Hanson supporters. He claims it has been worse than anticipated, with threats made toward him and his family, especially on the product's Facebook page.
"I try and respect their points of view, however they do make it very difficult given their hate-filled rhetoric. We live in a free society and one of the greatest things about this is being able to have our own opinions and to be able to voice those opinions without the fear of retaliation with violence," he said.
Baines said he had plans of creating bags with other politicians' faces on them, but he's not sure if he will go ahead with them. The suggestions for other politicians keep piling up, however.
"We have had MANY requests from fans of ours to create bags for a number of Australian politicians. At this stage though we think we will focus all our attention on Ms Hanson," he said.
