NSW Premier Backs Migration Concerns but Calls Hanson’s Multiculturalism Claims ‘Garbage’

‘You can bring your Greek salad, your Italian pasta, your Chinese stir-fry. Just remember this: vegemite is the glue that holds it all together,’ Hanson said.

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has called One Nation leader Pauline Hanson’s framing of multiculturalism “garbage,” while acknowledged the impacts of the migration influx on Australia’s infrastructure.

Minns said debate over immigration was valid, but said One Nation’s framing of multiculturalism as a cultural threat is taking it “a step too far.”
