Kochie tells Hanson she doesn’t really care about the lives she affects with her hateful speech

DAVID Koch has told Pauline Hanson she doesn’t really care about the lives she affects with her hateful speech as he revealed she upsets him and his multicultural family.

DAVID Koch has told Pauline Hanson she upsets him because her message is packaged up in such a hateful way that “affects so many other lives”.

Hanson was on Sunrise to discuss her maiden speech in Parliament which saw Greens Senators walk out in disgust.

The Queensland Senator used her first speech in 20 years to call for a ban on Muslim immigration, limit child benefits for mothers with more than one child and offered to personally drive any immigrants to the airport.

“Pauline, I agree with a lot of what you are saying. I would drive migrants back to the airport with you if they did not respect this country and our culture. It is a privilege to come here,” Kochie said.

“Where it upsets me is that you package it up in such a hateful, divisive way that affects so many other lives I don’t think you really care or understand?”

Kochie went on to say that his Sri Lankan son-in-law gets called a terrorist and told to leave Australia when he walks down the street.

“I have grandkids who will grow up like that. It upsets me, because you feed into that,” he said.

“Kochie, I am sorry if it comes across like that. It is not my intention,” Hanson responded.

Kochie accused Hanson of “honing in on the bad eggs” rather than being more general.

Hanson said the issues need to be discussed and debated rather than people like her being demonised for speaking out.

“Everybody shuts down, we better not say anything about it, because everyone is frightened,” she said,

“It will get to a stage, like other countries, where everyone is in their shell in fear of being attacked or being called racist.”
