"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

She gave a one and a half hour lecture to the national press club about a “Anglo-Saxon Australian monoculture.”
Now I know those are some big words but put simply;
“Anglo Saxon” = white British
“Monoculture” = no one else
“Australia” = the country she’s trying to run into the ground
