## Resource

Pauline Hanson’s explosive interview with Tommy Robinson ignited controversy as she blamed the end of White Australia for social strain, citing the NDIS as exploited by migrants from Muslim countries — claims the NDIS Minister denies lacking evidence for. She also blamed Whitlam-era immigration reforms, contrasting past European migrants with recent arrivals. Meanwhile, Hanson touted her daughter Lee as One Nation’s future leader, praising her credentials while insisting leadership must be earned. Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young condemned the interview as un-Australian, while Hanson’s UK trip includes a Conservative Political Action Conference appearance — all following Channel Seven’s reported arrangement for the Robinson segment.
