Government votes against the idea it’s okay to be white

MEDIA RELEASE

16/10/2018

In an unforeseen backflip by the Government, both Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Senate leader, Mathias Cormann have woken with white guilt and withdrawn their support for Senator Hanson’s Notice of Motion, it’s ok to be white.

”It’s one of the most remarkable days ever in Australian politics that Labor, Liberal and the Greens are now united in saying they would vote against a parliamentary motion condemning attacks on western civilisation and white people because of their skin colour,” Senator Hanson said.

“One Nation is the only party promoting racial tolerance and support for the great achievements of our Western civilisation.”

“If I had said, it’s ok to be black, every single senator in the chamber would have voted for it.”

“After this morning’s statement by Minister Cormann, I’m still unclear on which part of my motion they found so controversial that they disagree with?”

“What today’s announcement shows, is that this Government is either so worried about the outcome of the weekend’s Wentworth by-election that they feel the need to pander to left-wing extremists that believe it’s not ok to be white, or they blindly vote on important motions, bills and legislation without proper consideration.”

“As I stated on the floor of the Senate, I have always believed it’s ok to be black, white or brindle.”
