UPDATE: Pauline Hanson has issued a striking call for immediate reform of Australia’s immigration policies, claiming the nation has made a grave mistake over the past 30 years. During a fiery interview on Sky News earlier today, the One Nation leader backed a proposal by business figure Stephen Lowy for a Royal Commission into immigration policy, emphasizing that urgent cultural change is necessary.
Hanson stated, “We’re bringing in the wrong people. They don’t want to assimilate, they have no time for Australia and hate our culture, our way of life, Western civilization.” Her remarks come in the wake of increasing concerns about radical Islamic ideology gaining traction in Australia. She warned that simply implementing hate speech laws will not adequately address the growing threat of extremism.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese recalled parliament to debate new legislation aimed at banning extremist groups, including Hizb ut-Tahrir, and criminalizing racial incitement. In this crucial context, Hanson has amplified her demands for stricter immigration controls, arguing that many migrants from Muslim-majority countries are not welcomed back by their home nations, questioning, “Why are we taking them if they won’t accept them?”
Hanson’s comments highlight her concerns regarding the potential radicalization of children in Islamic schools, asserting that surveillance measures must be put in place. “Unless we spotlight Islamic schools, we can’t allow this to be swept under the carpet,” she warned.
In a bold move, Hanson suggested that individuals with dual citizenship who engage in radical activities should be stripped of their citizenship and deported. “We don’t want this in the country,” she declared, pushing for a 10-year citizenship probation period for new migrants.
The urgency of her message resonates with the public, especially following the recent Bondi massacre, which she claims has awakened many to the failures of major political parties. A new Demos AU poll released this week shows One Nation tied with the Coalition at 23 percent primary vote, while the Labor Party has slipped to 29 percent.
Hanson expressed that Australians have “lost faith” in the traditional parties, remarking, “People are looking for leadership. They are really hurting in this country.” Her supporters have rallied to her side, with many voicing their approval on social media, emphasizing her honesty and commitment to addressing critical issues.
As debates in parliament unfold and public sentiment shifts, all eyes are on the potential implications of Hanson’s demands for Australia’s immigration policy. The situation is developing rapidly, and its impact on the nation’s political landscape could be profound.
Stay tuned for more updates as this urgent story unfolds.
