Finger On The Pulse! Pauline Woos Middle Australia By Vowing To Axe SBS In The Middle Of A World Cup

Vegemite sandwiches and burger rings are the only items allowed in Aussie kids lunchboxes, it has been confirmed.

Anyone who enjoys watching the 'world game' are also going to have to find another sport.

That's according to Australia's rising right-wing political renegade, Pauline Hanson, who called for an end to 'multiculturalism' at her first ever National Press Club address yesterday.

The One Nation leader took to the stage to reiterate that Australia is a 'monoculture' and her party plans to ban any migrants who cannot speak English from moving to Australia.

Not only this, but her party has vowed to abolish all programs aimed at helping migrant families integrate into Australia - and first on the chopping block will be the 50-year-old Special Broadcast Service.

When asked if the internet was capable of broadcasting Australian news in over 60 different languages, Hanson said that people should learn English, and when they do, Sky News is a perfectly good enough broadcaster.

The 72-year-old veteran of Australian far-right politics has changed very few of her policies throughout her 30-year career. Except for the fact that she now targets Muslims as public enemy number one - with 'Asians' now public enemy number 2.

Aboriginal people, or 'Aborigines' as she calls them, will be stripped off all services and funding aimed at closing the critical health and education gaps in regional areas. On top of this, childcare will no longer be subsidised because Pauline Hanson never relied on such programs in 1980s Ipswich.

However, it was her relentless attacks on the public broadcaster that shocked everyone in attendance, as she relayed the same far-right talking points from grievance-charged online algorithms, and vowed to defund two major pillars of Australian media.

While never shy of making political enemies, the press club attendees were surprised by just how hard Hanson went for a wide range of migrant communities, many of whom hold a special place for the SBS in their hearts.

However, Hanson believes 'the good migrants' agree with her, and their support has emboldened her to call for the special broadcaster to be abolished, in the middle of a FIFA World Cup that millions of Australians are watching.

Hanson says OptusSport is perfectly capable of broadcasting all future international football matches.
