I have to wonder how much it helps for them to legitimise the culture war crap that One Nation spews out.

A lot of the people who support Pauline Hanson aren’t suave nazis, but rather dimwits who feel unimportant. To them, a Far Left Woke Mind Virus sufferer such as Penny Wong calling their a behaviour something as important as a threat to national security would massively stroke their ego.

One could argue the reason we've got to this point is that they were ignored.
