OK I have located that final quote from Pauline Hanson. | |
I can guarantee the name Pauline Hanson carries with it independence, honesty, assurance, quality and reliability. Something the Chinese can never buy. And halal snack packs never provide it. | |

Please reconsider your plebiscite bill...make marriage equality a reality. | |
She reminds Malcolm Turnbull of the hateful debate that ended Adam Goodes football career, in a challenge to the idea that hate speech will not feature in the plebiscite debate. | |
To the sister girls and brother boys who struggle with their sexuality, I say to you stay strong. I stand with you. | |

She says she understands Indigenous recognition is a bitter pill to swallow to ask again for recognition from other people. | |
(But she does not urge a change to Labor policy supporting recognition on that.) | |
Is it not time to consider a vision for the north? | |
We need a vision that unites over 100 Indigenous language groups in the NT alone? | |
She raises the possibility of the NT becoming a seventh state and urges the government to consider a way of getting more NT senators and members into the parliament. | |
Let the people of the NT have a say. | |
McCarthy says she has been questioned as to how she is so educated, given she is an Indigenous woman. | |

McCarthy commends Indigenous journalists, of which she was one, prior to politics. | |
She talks about her ancestors, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. Their support for the Wave Hill walk off, which she says attracted support from many Australians, not just Indigenous. She thanks a range of people, including her fellow Indigenous colleagues, Pat Dodson and Linda Burney. | |

So there was no words on Indigenous people, the previous offenders. The Asian community remain a menace, as do of course Muslims. She has a corner on common sense and good old fashioned values, in her mind. The rest of us are just kidding ourselves. | So there was no words on Indigenous people, the previous offenders.

Stay tuned for Malarndirri McCarthy. Her mob are sitting in the opposite stalls. They give her applause as she opens with her Indigenous language. | Stay tuned for Malarndirri McCarthy. Her mob are sitting in the opposite stalls. They give her applause as she opens with her Indigenous language. |

Hanson reckons she comes from a breed taught morals, values, common sense. And there are some final quotes which I will check before I print because I was a little gobsmacked. That’s it, everyone comes up to congratulate her. Minus the Greens of course. | Hanson reckons she comes from a breed taught morals, values, common sense.

Pauline Hanson says she will not do a Derryn Hinch and speak for 45 minutes. She says she has six years so she has plenty of time – which will make the Greens cringe. | Pauline Hanson says she will not do a Derryn Hinch and speak for 45 minutes.
