Australian One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson’s proposed “Its OK to be White” motion almost passes through the Senate
“I would also hope the Senate does the right thing and acknowledges that it is indeed okay to be white. Such a simple sentence should go without saying, but I suspect many members in this place would struggle to say it.
“People have a right to be proud of their cultural background, whether they are black, white or brindle. If we can’t agree on this, I think it’s safe to say anti-white racism is well and truly rife in our society.”
Ms Hanson’s motion was defeated by a close margin, 31-28. Labor and the Greens voted against it, while many government senators voted in favour.
