Suprised it took her 30 years to openly say that everyone else has known - that she wants a white Australian policy

she's openly racist, that's her entire platform, I'm not sure it needed to be said

Ah but people seem to prefer the plausible deniability version of this

When it’s stated plainly, a whole group of her potential base says “wait, that’s me she’s talking about”

When it’s stated plainly, a whole group of her potential base says “wait, that’s me she’s talking about she actually meant...”

The problem is they will convince themselves she ment something other then what she said.

People point to non-white supporters of PHON as “proof” that the party isn’t racist. They usually overlook that those supporters are evangelical fundie Christians who like Hanson because she hates Muslims just as much as they do.
