Senate Candidate and leader of the One Nation Party Pauline Hanson defended her calls for a Royal Commission into Islam, telling The TODAY Show the requirement is “justified.”

Ms Hanson hit back at angry anti-racism protesters who stormed her Senate launch last night, claiming they “don’t really understand what we stand for.”

“I think we need as a nation to determine what impact this is going to have on our culture and our way of life,” she said this morning.

“We’ve seen the terrorism on the streets, we’ve seen the problems and the murders, don’t bury your head in the sand,” she said.

She defended her tough stance, encouraging Australians not to be dismayed by the protesters because “nothing [in our] policies is controversial.”

It’s been twenty years since Ms Hanson has made a foray into politics, and not the first time she has come under fire for extreme views, after her infamous comments about Australia in danger of being “swamped by Asians”.

She went on to question whether Islam “was truly a religion, or just a political ideology trying to undermine our culture?”

Co-host Peter Stefanovic questioned whether he believed a sweeping generalisation of Islam was correct, adding “only a small percentage hold extremist views.”

“I think it’s wonderful if they are peace-loving people, but we have never had any of those problems from any other religion in this country,” she responded.

“Don’t try and hound me, or suppress me,” she said.

“It will up to the people at the ballot boxes… Let the people decide.

“This is a Christian country,” she retorted.

Ms Hanson went on to give an ardent speech that the call for a Royal Commission into Islam was not the only policy that stood for the One Nation Party.

“We want to address taxation, the budget, debt, loss of farming land to foreign nationals…please do not just tag me as an issue with Islam,” she pleaded.

“I, and my candidates, go a lot further than that.”

She appeared relieved when Stefanovic moved on to discussing superannuation, insisting her party believed it should be left alone.

“People are fed up, they make their plans, it should be the left the way it is… I don’t believe it should be changed,” she said.

She responded to the Prime Minister’s comments that she wasn’t welcome in the Upper House by putting it down to his “sheer arrogance.”

“It was very disgraceful for the leader of this nation to make those comments.”
