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.

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. She talks about her ancestors, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

McCarthy is talking about her path to the senate. She says she is here to represent not just her people but for all people, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, migrants and all in the Northern Territory.
Underline. Contrast.

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.
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 thanks her kids, her families and controversial staffer James Ashby. She notes Ashby has been kicked around by the establishment, as she has.

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.
Oh no, they have left.

On to family law. Discriminatory and biased, she says. I referred to it in the last first speech, says Hanson. If anything it has got worse.
Men suicide and women make frivolous claims. We will continue to see murders due to “sheer frustration”, she says.

Hanson supports the Coalition policy not wanting school leavers to go straight on to welfare. Teach them how to apply for a job, she says.
(That might be news to some of the kids in her supporters’ small towns.)
She advocates no more welfare payments for mothers with a second child. Get a job and learn to look after it, she says.
