Left melts down over Hanson’s call to protect Australian culture
Sky News host James Macpherson condemns critics who are attacking a caricature of Pauline Hanson’s speech instead of engaging with what she actually said. “Pauline Hanson talked about the importance of protecting Australian culture from those who want to divide us all into tribes that simply share a continent,” Mr Macpherson said. “The reaction has been telling. Rather than engaging with what Senator Hanson actually said, the left has done nothing but caricature it. “Hanson argued that in a multi-racial country, everyone needs to be able to speak a common, shared national language in public and in the workplace, etc. “The irony here is that it's the political left who are always claiming that Pauline Hanson is divisive while simultaneously accusing Hanson of saying something she didn't, in a bid to enrage ethnic communities whom they treat as stupid. Which is pretty divisive. “The result is confirmation that the Left doesn't get it and that they don't want to get it.”

‘Draw the line’: Hanson calls out customs incompatible with Australian culture
One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson continues her calls for Australia to become a monocultural society. “There are people choosing to come to Australia with no intention of becoming Australian or accepting Australian values, customs, traditions and laws,” Ms Hanson said. “We should be drawing the line on things incompatible with our culture, like Sharia law, child marriages … and the burqa.”
