Greens Senator for Tasmania Nick McKim says words of condemnation for Pauline Hanson’s repugnant comments about Port Arthur are not enough.

“One Nation is a threat to community harmony, and Australia’s safe and tolerant society,” Senator McKim said.

“Ms Hanson’s comments about the Port Arthur massacre represent a new low.”

“They are an affront to every Tasmanian, particularly those of us who remember the horrors and trauma of that incident.”

“But words of condemnation are not enough – they must be backed up by actions.”
