One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says Australia must be “monocultural,” arguing the country cannot be multicultural. Speaking to parliament and separately at the National Press Club in Canberra, Hanson criticises multicultural policy and links issues such as housing shortages and rising rents to high levels of migration. She also frames her views through cultural and identity arguments, including remarks about Islam and transgender rights, and criticises media organisations and outlets she says shape public debate. Several reports describe Hanson saying the Socceroos—Australia’s national men’s football team—represent her concept of a monocultural Australia. Other politicians and opponents dispute her characterisation. Labor’s Anthony Albanese rejects Hanson’s claims, pointing to the World Cup squad as evidence of Australia’s diversity and describing her proposals as harmful. Coalition figures also question Hanson’s policy position, with Angus Taylor urging One Nation to explain its approach. Reports also say Hanson proposes changes to public broadcasting, including an overhaul of the ABC and ending SBS, while regional broadcasting would be protected. The debate continues as major parties respond to Hanson’s migration and cultural policy agenda.
