The other quote I have pulled out of Pauline Hanson’s speech relates to her call for a halt to further immigration. | |
At present our immigration intake is 190,000 year. High immigration is only beneficial to multinationals, banks and big business seeking a larger market while everyday Australians suffer from this massive intake. They are waiting longer for their lifesaving operation, the unemployment queues grow longer, and even longer when government jobs are given priority to migrants. Our city roads have become parking lots, schools are bursting at the seams. Our aged and sick are left behind to fend for themselves and many towns and cities struggle to provide water for an ever-growing population. Our service providers struggle to cope due to lack of government funding, leaving it to charities to pick up the pieces. Governments both state and federal have a duty of care to the Australian people. Clean up your own backyard before flooding our country with more people who are going to be a drain on our society. I call for a halt to further immigration and look after our aged, sick and helpless first. | |

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. | I can guarantee the name Pauline Hanson carries with it independence, honesty, assurance, quality and reliability. Something the Chinese can never buy.

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. | |

McCarthy commends Indigenous journalists, of which she was one before entering politics. | |
She talks about her ancestors, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. Their support for the Wave Hill walkoff, 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. | |
