This is just absurd. Why would people come here if they didn't want to be Australian? The people who were least willing to adapt were Europeans. We are still not getting voer the fact that we can't turn this country into Europe. She resorted to complete gibberish when asked what Australian values actually are.

Senate hopeful Pauline Hanson has accused the federal government of opening up the immigration floodgates to people "who have no intention of being Australian".
Ms Hanson, who is running under the banner of Pauline's United Australia Party, was campaigning on similar policies to those that won her international notoriety a decade ago, including calling for a moratorium on Muslim immigration.
Ms Hanson, who co-founded the One Nation party, listed "Australian values" as the nation's culture, way of life and standard of living.

The Australian Democrats have accused Family First of "rewarding" Pauline Hanson for her "extremist" views by giving her its preferences.
The right-wing firebrand's chances of being elected to a Queensland senate seat have been boosted by Family First, which has revealed it will give her its preferences after the coalition.

Family First Leader Steve Fielding has defended his party's decision to preference Pauline Hanson above the Greens and the Democrats in the race for the Senate in Queensland.
Family First has given its first preferences to the coalition, but has placed Pauline's United Australia Party above the Greens and Democrats.
Senator Fielding was asked on Sunday whether his party's preference decision was putting Muslim, African or Asian "families first".
"You have to preference every single party, you don't have to have things in common with those parties, but you have to preference every single party," Senator Fielding said.
Asked whether he felt comfortable with the fact that his party's preferences could deliver Ms Hanson a Senate seat, Senator Fielding dodged the question.
Australian Democrats Leader Lyn Allison said there was a very real chance Ms Hanson could end up back in parliament as a result of Family First's preferences.
"She would be a very divisive, very dangerous player in federal politics."
