MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has used a misleadingly edited viral video to claim a Yes vote in the Voice to Parliament referendum will lead to increasing conflict between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
The video shows a confrontation between an Indigenous mother and daughter and an elderly white woman in the coastal Queensland town of Poona.
Ms Hanson shared the video on her official Facebook page with the caption: "This is just a taste of what is to come if Australians don't stop [Prime Minister Anthony] Albanese's race-based Voice and its Treaty".
RMIT FactLab editor and misinformation researcher Esther Chan said the incident had no connection to the Voice referendum and claims about Australians having to surrender their land had already been debunked.
Many of the comments on Ms Hanson's post of the video contain vitriolic abuse directed towards the Indigenous women, including a call for genocide against First Nations Australians.
The edited video was first published by former One Nation candidate Brett Johannsen on August 4, but among those who shared it, Ms Hanson had the largest audience.
