If Pauline Hanson wants a 'monocultural' society she's come to the wrong place.
This land has held the world's oldest living cultures for 65,000 years. We've built one of the most successful multicultural nations on earth.
Her "one cultural umbrella" is division, not unity.
Hansons biographer Margo Kingston says she was invited, and then uninvited, to ask Hanson a question today. Any explanation for this @tomwconnell@PressClubAust ?
This is gutless journalist (Sky News) who moderated Hanson rant at @PressClubAust today.
Heβs #NPC president.
Connell departed from convention, permitting Hansonβs racist, bigoted, semi-literate rant to drag on 40 minutes, reducing Q&A time.
Then failed to stand up for @msmarto
Pauline Hanson says she tells it like it is.
But her record says otherwise.
Sheβs opposed wage rises, affordable childcare, higher pensions and affordable housing measures β every time working Australians needed someone to fight for them.
We thought someone should say it plainly. So we did.
Bullshit, Pauline.
Today, Pauline Hanson complained about people who have difficulty speaking English. Luckily, her speech provided the perfect example for anyone wanting to learn the language.
I couldnβt help but think of my grandparents during Hansonβs address. They came to Australia with no English and set up a cafe in Adelaide. They contributed so much to the fabric of society, as did all the Greeks who settled there. Shame on Hanson for demonising migrants. #NPC

Did I miss anything?
I will NEVER vote for this xenophobic, incoherent, grievance-driven slop.
Fear is not a policy platform. A new one for the One Nation never-voters - created in collaboration with @GetUp | Tees: tinyurl.com/bdez9p97
ALT White T-shirt featuring an illustrated portrait of Pauline Hanson with a red headband reading βNEVER!β. Surrounding text reads βI Will Never Vote One Nationβ. The design is rendered in a bold retro political poster style with black, yellow, red and cream tones.
You absolutely did not deserve that @msmarto and I hope youβre ok. All it did was to show Australia that Hanson is Temu Trump. Congratulations on your dignity.
Protestors have ambushed One Nation leader Pauline Hansonβs biggest speech in 30 years, as she ditched βWelcome to Countryβ and said βAustralia must be monoculturalβ. > bit.ly/4eR8bKH
Pauline Hanson in her speech said she would look after working Australians. She's asked if her record of criticising minimum wage increases and voting against workers rights is helping working Australians.
The One Nation leader says she understands people out there are struggling to afford to pay their bills but "there has to be a balance".
She says the main thing that has increased the cost-of-living is an increase in electricity bills.
On industrial relations, she says the system needs a "complete overhaul because it's not working".
"Businesses also tell me you can't sack people these days. They're on their phones. They don't work. They don't turn up. They actually are lazy and businesses are tired of it."
Hanson says "fair enough" if you do the work you should get the same pay, no matter if you're a female or male.
But she says "if women take time off and they're not paid their wages because they're not working" that's fair enough.
"Why should businesses pay them if they're not at work. That's the difference. That's why the pay gap is there."
No one gets to 38 weeks and changes their mind. Late term abortions happen because either the baby or the mother wonβt survive. To politicise abortion is shameful. #Hanson#NPC
Pauline Hanson complains about kids in poverty, but votes to cut their parentsβ pay.
She complains abt medicine costs, but votes to make them cost more.
She complains abt power prices, but wants expensive nuclear power.
Pauline Hanson complains a lot, but would make things worse.
