Following that stunt yesterday, Pauline Hanson reportedly cooked Barnaby Joyce (who have been in talks over a possible defection by the Nationals MP) a steak last night.
Nine have footage of said meat being cooked on a sandwich press in her parliamentary office.
I hope that’s cooked well through otherwise it may end up in a poisoning incident in parliament. Unintended, perhaps.
I don’t know about the cooking techniques there, and I’m all for re-wearing outfits, but not when it’s an outfit that’s insulting to anyone of faith in the country, and insulting to anyone who wants Parliament to actually help people and fix the cost of living and bring down the cost of housing. Not just focus on itself, and not just the pathetic stunts like that. It’s shameless attention seeking that doesn’t actually help anyone or make anyone’s lives better. It actually just feeds racism. It’s dangerous and pathetic.
I don’t remember the last time someone in a burqa robbed a bank. Two weeks ago, there was a queue of neo-Nazis standing outside New South Wales Parliament House and I didn’t hear her joining with ASIO to admit that the fastest growing source of danger in the Australian community is right-wing extremism.
The only thing that she’s ensured today is that some schoolgirl wearing a headscarf is going to get bullied on the train on the way to school.
