Just like Trump in the US, Pauline Hanson is normalising the targeting of anyine who isn't from a European background.

We knew the answer to this 50 years ago:

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. - LBJ

And another thing - the crotch, down where your nuts hang - is always a little too tight, so when you make them up, give me an inch that I can let out there, uh because they cut me, it's just like riding a wire fence. These are almost, these are the best I've had anywhere in the United States [...] But, uh when I gain a little weight they cut me under there. So, leave me , you never do have much of margin there. See if you can't leave me an inch from where the zipper (burps) ends, round, under my, back to my bunghole, so I can let it out there if I need to.

Do his balls hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can he tie them in a knot?
Can he tie them in a bow?
Can he throw them over his shoulder,
like a continental soldier?
Do his balls hang low?
