Oh boy, it's the same sex marriage debate all over again!

The video shows a confrontation between an Indigenous mother and daughter and an elderly white woman in the coastal Queensland town of Poona. It has accrued more than 1.5 million views across Facebook, Twitter and TikTok.

In the 48-second clip, the woman filming is heard shouting at a white woman to leave a stretch of foreshore which belongs to the Butchulla people and saying they "owned these lands to the exclusivity of all others which comes under federal native title".

"You might not like it, but guess what? Times are changing. You don't own the land, we do. Get off it, please," the woman filming is heard saying.

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".

However, the viral clip is not what it seems.

ABC Investigations can reveal the footage shared by Ms Hanson was less than half of the original length, removing context of the incident.

The original version, posted 2.5 years ago by Butchulla woman Samala Cronin and her mother and elder Gemma Cronin, showed the argument actually began when the elderly woman's husband had confronted them for filming.

Imagine being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money every year to just straight up lie, repeatedly, with zero consequences. The only qualification necessary is to be morally and ethically bankrupt in every way imaginable. These people are the lowest of the low.

For 30 years, no less. asiatic hordes, islamic hordes, gay hordes and back again.

Hate-mongering is big business
