Nationalistic Australian Senator Pauline Hanson staunchly defended herself and colleagues on March 28, over controversial video footage that was aired in an explosive Al Jazeera documentary.

Senator Hanson, leader of the One Nation Party, told Australians at a media conference at the Commonwealth Parliamentary Offices in Brisbane that the footage was an elaborate stitch-up orchestrated by the “Islamist” media network of the Qatari government, Al Jazeera.
