Pauline Hanson was no more a 'bigot' and probably far more tolerant and accepting of migrants than the Asian countries who believed the Hanson caricature invented by multiculturalists and the mainstream political parties and themselves have very restrictive measures against migrants.

All Pauline Hanson ever objected to was the overly enthusiastic federal immigration policies, numbers that Labor Premiers themselves objected to. She did allude to being 'swamped by Asians'. But in truth if one considers the changes in demographics in her area of Australia, SE Qld, she is right to say that Asians are in great numbers. The 'diversity' tail does wag the immigration policy dog.

One only has to refer to the population atlas of Brisbane to come across suburbs where migrant numbers dominate and many either live in a home where English is not the first language of one or more of the parents and children.

But again, how any of the Asian countries can call Hanson prejudiced while having far more restrictive immigration and visitor measures in place themselves is a wonder. Although the politically correct ABC would never mention that either.

Why are so many calling Pauline racist! She is challenging a religion of ideas and ideology. Their attempt is to silence her by the laws governing racism. If we cannot challenge ideas we are but slaves to those who want to dominate.

Josephus,

They are calling Pauline Hanson a racist because they are totally incapable of coming up with a convincing argument against what she says. They've been calling her a racist for 20 years and we all know how 'effective' it has been! She is back, with more votes than Xenephon and the Greens put together. Hanson is a strong person of great conviction,echoing what a great many - possibly a majority - of Australians think. The ignorant fools who call her a racist - who call anyone a racist - have never graduated from being the schoolyard bullies they were, thinking that it is possible to silence people by calling them names.

//She is challenging a religion of ideas and ideology.//

Asia is a continent, Josephus, not a religion.

I wonder how long it is going to take regressives to realise that Islam is not a race. Why are not all the Christophobes called racist?
As long as they remain in denial and deceit votes for the the likes of Hanson will increase.

ISLAM is the world’s second largest religion with a following of over one billion people called Muslims—one-fifth of humanity. ..
Who calls islam a country. There are several countries where islam is the dominant religion. Not all islamists are equal. Some believe in sharia law without exception and there are others that believe in a moderate types of Islamic laws. The only thing they have in common is they are said to be muslims.
There is no country called islam or muslim . Maybe Runner needs to explain who is calling islam a race of people.
A renegade mob is calling itself Islamic state, and they are fighting muslims, but that is as close as it gets to a race of people
Islamic state fighting muslims, you have to assume that the Islamic state fighters do not agree with the muslim religion. Why else would they be at war with muslims.
There is a definite difference between muslims and islamists.
