Pauline Hanson backed Senator Jacinta Price’s comments on migration, arguing that Labor has long used immigration for political advantage. She cited former Labor president Barry Jones’ 1997 admission that migrants from Greece and China were brought in for votes, accusing Labor of repeating the same tactic today. Senator Hanson said Jacinta Price was “spot on” and urged Australians to recognise that high migration levels are being used to secure Labor’s electoral future at the expense of national interest.
