PM says โ€˜of courseโ€™ there is a link between Pauline Hansonโ€™s rhetoric and threats to Sydney mosque
Anthony Albanese linked a series of threats towards Sydneyโ€™s Lakemba mosque with One Nationโ€™s Pauline Hansonโ€™s rhetoric towards the countryโ€™s Muslims.

Albanese was asked on ABC Radio Sydney if there was a link in his mind between Hansonโ€™s recent remarks and threats of violence. The prime minister replied:

Of course there is, because it legitimises it. It mainstreams it. And Pauline Hansen is a divisive figure. Sheโ€™s made a political career out of seeking to divide Australians against each other. And what we need is more unity, not more division.

Pauline Hansen is ready to divide people. She is someone who often doesnโ€™t participate in the Senate but is busy off just campaigning. Sheโ€™s a negative force in Australian politics.
