What's next?
Politically motivated violence, threats and harassment are on the rise in Australia, with ASIO boss Mike Burgess previously warning it was "flashing red".
Attorney-General Michelle Rowland has called on Pauline Hanson to reflect on her own behaviour and her party's ideology after the One Nation leader accused the prime minister of inciting political violence.
On Monday, Senator Hanson said Anthony Albanese had "crossed a line" during a Queensland Labor conference speech in which he labelled hard-right political parties "dangerous, divisive and downright dishonest".
"We simply must defeat them. We owe it to history," Mr Albanese said.
"They'll say anything and do anything to win votes. Bend any facts. Peddle misinformation and disinformation. Turn Australian against Australian. Parties like One Nation have no serious answers to our problems."
Senator Hanson on social media said the prime minister's speech went too far and the comments incited political violence.
She later told the ABC Mr Albanese's treatment of her made her feel unsafe.
"What he's doing is putting me in a position of threats against me now that I have to have federal police protection whenever I'm out here, meeting people," she said.
In a post to social media on Tuesday, Senator Hanson labelled Ms Rowland's comments slanderous and demanded an apology.
"No minister, especially the Attorney-General and first law officer of the country, should suggest there is any justification for threats against Australians because of the political party they support," she wrote.
Asked about the prime minister's comments, Opposition Leader Angus Taylor said Mr Albanese must also be held accountable for his own "divisive and dangerous" behaviour.
"He divided Australians by race on the Voice, and what he has failed to do on many things, including with Islamic extremism, is he has failed to deal with dangerous situations," he said. "
"There should be zero tolerance for threats or violence against elected politicians," he said.
AnAl the hypocrite accuses Pauline of being dishonest, hey AnAl where is that cheaper electricity you promised us and why did you change negative gearing and CGT when you said you wouldn't?
Rowland is victim blaming here with Pauline it's like saying women who get raped would have been safe if they weren't wearing short skirts.
Of course lefties in this forum are OK with killing people who vote for anyone not from the left just like the commies.
The recent election won by ON in WA in a safe Labor seat saw a 20% swing against Labor, does AnAl think he will win back those Labor voters who voted ON ?
Will Rowland take any action on this threat posted on One Nations FB account or will she blame Pauline so she doesn't upset these labor voters?
