In her Senate speech, she stated that these rituals were never Aboriginal tradition and were only introduced in the 1970s. Senator Hanson argued for national unity, equal respect for all Australians — including migrants and non-Indigenous citizens — and rejected the idea that any one group should be permanently acknowledged above others. Her stance reflects growing public frustration with cultural division and performative politics.
