Pauline Hanson warned Australians many times about the dangers of an immigration program which allowed foreign values to infect our nation.
This week, following Israel’s success in targeting the leader of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon, Australians were treated to the disgusting spectacle of people actually mourning the monster terrorist’s death and openly displaying the flag of a prescribed terrorist organisation in the streets of Sydney.
It’s against Australian law to publicly display symbols of prescribed terrorist organisations. Hezbollah has been plaguing the Middle East with terrorist attacks for decades; they were responsible for the infamous bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983, which killed more than 300 people, but curiously didn’t make it onto Australia’s list of prescribed terrorist organisations until 2021.
The very idea there are people in Australia who support such an ‘organisation’ and its abhorrent acts is extremely offensive, but that’s what Labor and the Coalition have allowed to happen. There is no place for such people and their values in Australia, but the major parties have tacitly condoned it this week by failing to uphold laws and arrest those who marched in Sydney under the flag of a terrorist group.
If only the major parties had listened to Pauline and heeded her warning. These people would not be in Australia to spread their hate.
Immigration to Australia should be a privilege, not an entitlement. Immigration policy should work in the interests of the Australian people, not against it. Immigration policy should be guided in a way that produces a cohesive society based on shared values, not the increasingly fractured and segmented society we have in Australia today.
It’s too much to ask of the fundamentally weak and craven Labor and Coalition parties. It’s not too much to ask of One Nation.
