Alt-right campaigner Lauren Southern is about to stir up a hornets nest of political controversy around Australia.

The young Canadian, who found infamy through a series of YouTube videos taking on Muslims, feminists and transgender people, says there’s a thirst for her message in Australia.

“I am here to basically address the same problem that much of the West is facing right now, and that is the recent bug of progressivism and multiculturalism," she told A Current Affair .

Southern has been banned from entering the UK after a stunt she pulled handing out anti-Islam flyers stating that Allah is "gay".

She insists Australia could follow the same path as places like France, which she says “is burning right now.”

“People can watch the videos of female police officers being beaten nearly to death in the Paris suburbs because these areas are areas where people no longer respect the rule of law,” she said.

Southern has expressed anti-Islam, anti-feminism, and anti-multiculturalism views. (9news)

The 23-year-old has also aired her extreme views about transgender people in the sit-down interview with A Current Affair , claiming they are suffering mental illness.

“The difference is that there is genuine delusion there, it's body dysmorphia, that is a mental illness right," she said.

The political campaigner has strong views against feminism too, saying women aren’t psychologically wired to be CEOs, and most would be happier at home in the kitchen.

“Everywhere you go, constant commercials, everything is about equality, women do what you want, and yet women still don't really want to be CEOs that bad,” she said.

“The majority of women that go into law for example, or a large number of them, they tend to drop out of it before they're 30, because they're like, 'Well this is miserable'."
