Pauline Hanson Appears On ‘Sunrise’, Pulls Some Refugee-Bashing Bullshit

Firmly in the “for” camp was SKY News and Channel 7 Commentator Derryn Hinch. And who did they get to fill the “against” slot? Pauline Hanson, One Nation Leader, and noted hater of non-white Australians.

Now, a warning: if you have any issues with blood pressure, blackout rages, or similarly related illness that are exacerbated by ignorant, racist bullshit, then scroll straight down past the Sunrise clip.

Otherwise, go ahead and watch Pauline give top-quality reasons for not accepting more refugees, like the fact that they’re taking our jobs, that their being here means we’ll have to build more mosques, and that keeping Muslims out is how we’ll achieve a “peaceful Australia”. 

We know what you’re thinking: what a pile of utter shit. But it’s all true, you guys, because she found some random Vietnamese taxi driver who totally agrees with her reasoning.

  

Inviting Pauline Hanson on the show went down with Australians just as well as expected: i.e. like force-swallowing reconstituted bile.

Hey @sunriseon7 maybe it’s time you stopped giving Pauline Hanson airtime?

Who at @sunriseon7 thought Pauline Hanson would have some important insights to share on the Syria humanitarian crisis? Honestly.

Pauline Hanson doesn’t want refugees in Australia. In other news, water is wet.

etc. 

“It’s offensive even having you on the bloody program,” said Derryn Hinch, speaking for roughly the 99% of us who are still shell-shocked that Hanson wormed her way back into politics, tbh.

It’s high past time someone said this to TV producers, but Pauline Hanson needs to GET. IN. THE. BIN.
