One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has warned that Australia could face violent riots similar to those in France unless mass migration is stopped, according to reports by the Daily Mail, News24, the Herald Sun, and The Australia Today. In a social media post, Hanson claimed that civil unrest in France and other European nations was a direct consequence of immigration policies. [1][2][3][4]

The Daily Mail reported that Hanson wrote that France is burning and urged Australia to end mass migration to avoid similar outcomes. She stated that migrants threatened the Australian way of life and warned that violent protests would become commonplace if the government continued importing people who reject democracy. [1]

Hanson is the leader of One Nation and has served as a federal senator for Queensland since 2016. She previously represented the Queensland division of Oxley in the Australian House of Representatives from 1996 to 1998 after entering politics as an Ipswich City Councillor in 1994. [5][8]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers recently urged progressives not to mock supporters of the right wing One Nation party amid sustained polling strength for the political group. [10]
