Pauline Hanson Longs For The 'Monoculture' Where She Had To Sue Drag Queens For Taking The Piss Out Of Her On Every TV Channel And Radio Station In Australia

Debates rage around what the word 'Monoculturalism' actually means this week, as Australia's far-right attempt to present it as the opposite of 'multiculturalism'.

However, experts say the term actually refers to the pre-social media landscape, where every Australian was up to date with the same national discourse.

'Monoculture' describes one culture tied together by ubiquitous cultural events and a shared news cycle, which is actually the opposite of what Pauline Hanson is calling for in her efforts to replace Australia's legacy media brands with a fractured online algorithm dominated by misinformation and conspiracy.

Her calls for the abolishment of the SBS, which is a 50-year-old Australian media institution that helps keep migrant communities up to date with Australian culture by translating domestic current affairs into 60 different languages, is actually a call to abolish the monoculture.

Pauline Hanson says 'there is no need for the SBS because the internet has replaced it' with an unregulated global algorithm that imports foreign cultures wars and erases the Australian identity while also normalising political extremism to the point where ASIO is overwhelmed by the amount of online radicalisation we are seeing permeating through the basements of Australian family homes.

This comes as Pauline Hanson spends an entire week desperately trying to contextualise some of the policies she boldly announced at the her historic National Press Club address in Canberra last week.

Specifically Hanson has said she didn't mean the things she said about paid parental leave, despite saying them. She has also moved to contextualise what she meant by 'monoculture' - insisting she wants to see the return of Aussie comedy characters like like 'Paul Hogan' and 'Norman Gunston' - the latter of which was a satirical news journalist created by the ABC that would've found a rich vein ridiculing her.

Much like the iconic Australian drag act 'Pauline Pantsdown' who soared to the top of the ARIA charts during the 1998 federal election campaign with the parody song 'I Don't Like It' - a masterclass of piss-taking that destroyed Hanson's chances of getting re-elected even after she obtained a court injunction against the song and had it pulled from the national TV and radio airwaves because she doesn't like free speech that she disagrees with.
