Something that was thought to have died and been buried over 50 years ago, the White Australia Policy, has been resurrected, thanks to Pauline Hanson. In what is fast becoming an infamous interview with the convicted UK felon and far-right activist Tommy Robinson, Hanson suggested without evidence migrants came to Australia "purely for the welfare system". She blames this on the ending of the White Australia Policy. In the same interview Hanson claimed it was "quite known" that Muslims in Australia were prominent among people "ripping off" the NDIS. Senator Hanson said all the problems "started" in 1973 when former prime minister Gough Whitlam "opened up Australia, and got rid of the White Australia policy".

Should there be a return to this outdated policy, and are migrants (and Aboriginals), the cause of all of Australia's economic and social problems.
