A new "Patriotic Broadcasting Corporation" could better represent the identity of mainstream Australians and fight bias within the ABC, new One Nation senator Brian Burston said on Tuesday.

Using his first speech to attack Australia's immigration policy and blame violent crime on "aggressive multiculturalism", the former local councillor and newly elected NSW senator called for an overhaul of the ABC and SBS with a new channel created to present news and current affairs from the perspective of "the historic Australian nation". He also praised aspects of the old White Australia policy and claimed that discrimination helped preserve domestic peace.

Senator Burston said a "cultural Marxist takeover" had begun at the ABC in the 1960s.

"Almost 50 years later, there is not one conservative program or anchor on the ABC. Not one, in a billion-dollar enterprise," he said.
