Barnaby Joyce has claimed One Nation does not support the White Australia policy, while doubling down on ‘mass deportation’ of illegal immigrants, including those who overstay visas to seek medical care. Speaking on Sunrise, Joyce said Pauline Hanson’s comments were ‘taken out of context’ and that the party does not want the policy back. However, he argued that a ‘chain of events’ from its abolition led to failures in assimilation. Labor’s Tanya Plibersek accused One Nation of equivocating, saying Hanson ‘very clearly’ blamed problems on the end of the White Australia policy. The exchange highlights deep divisions on immigration ahead of the next election.
