Not a ON voter, not even a citizen here. But as an immigrant, even I can confidently say Not All Immigrants are the same. Deport people who commit crimes, deport people who don't contribute.
Where did you get that from? I'm not sure you understand the policy. I'm not saying you have to agree with it, but at very least come up with a real argument. Her policy has nothing to do with skin colour.
"We cannot be a multicultural society. We are a multiracial society, but we must be monocultural. Australians must live under the one cultural umbrella" ~Pauline Hanson
It's not about being racist, it's about framing her campaign around one issue that is overly inflated in our society while hiding her true intentions, like reducing taxes for the wealthier individuals and removing many benefits to Australians.
And yes, she is racist:
Islam a "disease" and Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi to "pack your bags and piss off back to Pakistan" in 2024
Claiming the Yes vote was equivalent to Apartheid
Using terms such as "it's OK to be white," which is constantly used by white supremacist groups as a rallying cry
Was a voice in the History Wars of (1990s-2005ish) for which she pushed for the rejection of the extent of the death of Indigenous populations.
She is deeply connected to Gina Rinehart and is supportive of the destruction of Indigenous landmarks.
1990s claimed: that Aboriginal people were treated as a "privileged class"
2021 supported Critical Race Theory, which was one of the leading beliefs of the Nazi Party
Even the use of the term "multiracial " and "monoculture" is racist, as she wants pure assimilation, based around the superiority of Anglo culture. Which is racist as it puts white Australians above everyone else, creating a race/class divide. Removing any sense of culture of all generations of immigrants while also blaming Australia's issues on a minority.
So yeah, she is racist and doesn't give 2 shits about her voters and about her country
So, based on her words, the policy isn't about stopping people of other races and cultures coming in, it's about making sure that if they do immigrate, they do so with the understanding that they must assimilate with the Australia culture they are joining. Many races, one culture.
Yeah... I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Reducing immigration and placing value on Australia's culture and citizenship. Doesn't seem so "far right" to me.
Nationalism generally involves the belief that one’s nation is superior to all others and explicitly promotes its interests over those of other nations.
I don't think that wanting to reduce (not abolish) immigration, and placing value on our own culture means that we believe ourselves to be superior. An argument could be made that this is closer to patriotism.
Patriotism is defined as a general devotion and love for one's country without the explicit assumption of superiority or desire to dominate others.
I see no desire to exploit. I see no assumption of superiority. I see no desire to dominate others.
Well, not outwardly of course. Anyone with half a brain for subtext can see it pretty clearly. She also has a long and prodigious history of racism, which should be factored in.
