Guardian Essential poll: more than half of Australians open to voting for One Nation despite Hanson’s Muslim comments

I find this immensely disappointing

Hanson is a stain on Australia, but like Drumpf is to 'Murica, she’s a symptom of how many hateful ignorant cunts there are here, not a disease in and of herself

I’m still looking forward to reading her obituary.

Yes, it’s another reminder of the very widespread underlying racism in this country. If you give Australians a reason to target minority groups under a false premise (housing prices, cost of living, etc), many will happily take you up on it.
