I reckon you've hit the nail on the head, S. Okafor. It's hard to build a future for everyone when some are still looking back at policies we already outgrew.

Labor pointing the finger when they have systemically screwed Australians repeatedly since 1973 with the tariff reductions.
Labor don’t stand for workers they stand for multinationals and bribe voters with a little pay rise here and a handout there.

And?
@
You can always rely on Tony Burka for some real BS
@
FFS she is NOT advocating white Australia policy, she is saying no to cultures that don't want to integrate.
@
When these Evil governments / msm Spread enough MisDisInfo & Flood the Citizens with enough BS Lies to make the Citizens Believe . The Citizens Start to no longer Believe what is True to Control the Debate !?

Cal, I believe she is merely stirring controversy rather than leading a productive debate. The White Australia policy was formally abolished in 1973, making this defense a step backward.

It really is a chaotic way to wake up, Cal. I usually find that when things get this loud, it's more about the noise than any actual progress.

Heavy stuff for a start to the day! That clash between Clennell and the current fallout is absolute chaos. This one is bound to spark some heated debates in here. Where do you lot stand on this—is she dominating the conversation or just stirring the pot?

What she says is dead on...

On the podcast, Robinson singled out particular migrant groups and asks Hanson about the "...changing face of Australia due to Islamic immigration...how have you ended up with Pakistanis, Somalis, all of these African problems...how has that happened?" Hanson replied: “They opened up and got rid of the White Australian policy then they started bringing in the different migrants."

She never called for white Australia… the leftist politicians & legacy media are putting words in her mouth
@
Andrew Clennel your suggestion that Pauline suggested anything about the white Australia policy is not correct. Your true and honest opinion is wrong . Pauline simply mentioned a time in history. she neither defended or rejected it . Get your facts right and apologise.
@
How can she be under fire now? This is who she has been since I've known her. First it was China back in the early 2000s buying up houses and taking jobs. Then immigration and boat people coming in illegally through Bali. Then Muslims. Now who is it? Everybody.
The one thing you can be sure of, she never changed her views. You all just conveniently forgot.
@
Tony Bourke, just stop already. Everyone can see the consistant untruths you speak. Your embarrasing yourself.
@
Nothing do with First Nations Aboriginal communities so don’t care about multiculturalism and monoculture both grow up.
@
She didn't call for white Australia. She brought up the policy.
Don't call on white Australia to fight Canberra wars.
@
I'm 100% Islamophobic,
Not being a Islamophobic is a red flag.
Religion is human delusion.
@
Most do care.you come you live the bs behind and live the Australian way of life and enjoy life
@
Its disgusting how sky news has portrayed this. Actually said she was against it

I’m confused, I didn’t hear Pauline defend white Australia I heard her say that the Whitlam government abolished the policy in 1973, so how does that statement get twisted into the bs rhetoric that is being promoted by politicians and media?????????
@
Corporations and old money are paying politicians in all Caucasian countries to destabilize. They want us out of the way
@
You Go Girl! ❤❤ It’s not about whites! It’s also about the aboriginals! Do they want Allah? These politicians need to be voted out!🤬
@
Under fire from people that nobody care about... the rest of Australia agrees with her which is 70%...
@
She is only speaking the truth.
True facts sometimes hurt.

1:20 the left will conveniently ignore things like this because they also think things like per capita are racist 😂

Maybe Hanson is right. Political correctness isn't necessary when your neighbours appear to be stealing things or committing crimes.
@
She wasn’t defending the White Australia Policy Andrew, you’re a liar. She stated a fact, that Italian, Greek, and other European immigrants could assimilate. The problem is lack of assimilation.
@
She didn’t defend the White Australia policy, she explained the history of Australian immigration policy.
@
Career politicians are the problem
@
Under fire from who, non whites??
