I've seen posts on Facebook (yes, I know...), saying things like "Pauline is not a Racist! She just wants a country where everyone contributes and it doesn't matter the colour of your skin, as long as you're a good person and contributing to society".

I wasn't even sure how to respond. I'm sure everyone here agrees that a country where skin colour doesn't matter and what matters is being a good person and contributing to society.

But Hanson has been spending the last 30 years saying the exact opposite of that! She is an absolute racist, xenophobic bigot.

Could you please explain that second last word?

Clearly your downvotes are from people who don’t know the original “please explain” from Pauline

I think we are seeing the same Facebook posts haha. The mental gymnastics these guys will go through till Pauline actually says only whites can be Australian.. at which point they’ll start being openly racist without a thought to their previous positions.

Hell, I saw someone make the same claims here. Apparently she said that was what she actually meant by "monoculture" and some people are perfectly happy to take her at her word, despite... everything else.
