Pauline Hanson has launched a scathing attack on the late mother of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, sparking a furious response from Energy Minister Chris Bowen.
In resurfaced comments, Hanson took aim at Maryanne Albanese, who lived in public housing for decades, claiming that she should not have been allowed to stay in the same home for 65 years.
Hanson’s comments were made in February, but have only now come to light, and have been widely condemned by politicians and commentators.
Bowen was quick to defend the Prime Minister’s family, saying that Hanson had crossed a line and that some things were “off limits” in political debate.
“Attacking a woman who’s been dead for more than 20 years for living in public housing is off limits,” Bowen said. “For God’s sake, there’s a line and Pauline Hanson regularly crosses the line.
This is an outrageous attack on a woman who is not here to give her perspective.”
Hanson’s comments have also been slammed as hypocritical, given her own claims of being a “friend of the battler” and her party’s criticism of Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie.
Bowen accused Hanson of revealing her true opinion on Australians living in public housing, saying that she thinks they shouldn’t be there.
“Pauline Hanson pretends to be a friend of the battler, with all the battlers living in public housing around Australia,” Bowen said. “She’s just told you what she thinks of you, if you’ve been living in public housing for a long time.
She thinks you shouldn’t be there.”
The controversy has raised questions about the limits of political debate and the impact of Hanson’s rhetoric on vulnerable Australians.
Security analysts say that Hanson’s comments have the potential to further polarize the debate around public housing and welfare, and could have serious consequences for those who rely on these services.
Law enforcement insiders warn that Hanson’s rhetoric could also have a negative impact on community cohesion, and could lead to increased tensions between different groups. Industry observers believe that Hanson’s comments are a classic example of “dog-whistling” and are designed to appeal to a specific segment of the population.
Analysis: What This Means for Australia
