Pauline Hanson has called Fraser Anning’s use of the term ‘The Final Solution’ “offensive” in an interview on Sky News’ The Bolt Report.

The One Nation leader also described calls in Anning’s speech to return to a White Australia policy as offensive.

“What I found offensive was using the term ‘The Final Solution’ … you shouldn’t want to go back to the White Australia policy.”

Hanson also said she thought that the Senator hadn’t written the speech, suggesting it was written by Richard Howard, a staffer of former One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts who now works for Anning.

“Fraser Anning did not write this speech. He wouldn’t have a clue what ‘The Final Solution’ is. That is Richard Howard’s words.”

She described Howard as a “propagandist” and “military man”.

“I warned him not to put on this staff.”

Hanson accused Anning, who was elected to the senate as a candidate for One Nation before publicly betraying the party and eventually joining Katter’s Australian Party, of basing his policies largely on the ones of her party.

“Most of his speech I agreed with because he’s taken a lot of the policies out of my Queensland policies handbook.”

Hanson reiterated her intention to push for a “plebiscite” vote at the next federal election for a “five year moratorium on the number of Muslims coming into the country.

“We have to look at what’s happened around the world with Muslims. We don’t need areas that are predominantly Muslim dominated. Who are not assimilating into our society.”

“Our standard of living is dropping so we have to have this debate.”
