One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson has sided firmly with Opposition Leader Peter Dutton who called on the government to reject all visa requests from Gaza.
'I fear for the nation': One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson backs Peter Dutton on calling for a blanket ban on Gaza visas
Speaking to Sky News on Wednesday evening, Ms Hanson said Australia should not be taking in any refugees from Gaza over fears it could stoke higher security concerns after the recently increased terror threat level to 'probable'. “Nearly 3000 people applied for visas to actually come out to Australia, we don’t know what their background is and it’s only purely based on documentation they filled out because investigations can’t be done into their births, deaths and marriages.”
Ms Hanson questioned why the government was “opening up” the country to allow more Hamas supporters who were already in Australia and protesting for Palestine.

Ms Hanson said the ASIO boss Mark Burgess's comments to the ABC over the weekend, regarding"rhetorical support" for Hamas not being a valid indication of terrorist sympathies. “We have enough problems here. They’ve gone from ‘possible’ to ‘probable’ in a terror threat in Australia,” Ms Hanson said.
