- Hanson appears to echo Robinson’s concerns about mass immigration, saying Luton is ‘not the England that I remember’

Pauline Hanson’s decision to meet with UK alt-right figure Tommy Robinson has sparked widespread outrage and concern over her party’s extremist ties. In a promo for Sunday’s 7NEWS Spotlight, Hanson is seen touring the streets of Luton with Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
The meeting comes weeks after Robinson announced on X that he had recorded a podcast with Hanson, describing her as “one of the bravest ladies on the planet” and saying he hoped she would become Australia’s next leader.
The pair’s meeting has raised serious questions about Hanson’s judgment and her party’s stance on extremism.
Robinson has a long history of violent convictions, including two for assault, and has been linked to anti-Islam activism and protests marred by Nazi salutes.
Despite this, Hanson appears to be embracing Robinson’s ideology, echoing his concerns about mass immigration and its impact on British society.
As Hanson toured Luton with Robinson, she appeared to be in awe of the activist’s views, saying “I’m in your hands, Tommy” as they walked through the streets.
The pair’s conversation was laced with anti-immigration rhetoric, with Robinson blaming “mass Islamic immigration” for the decline of his hometown. Hanson seemed to agree, saying “It’s not England.
It’s not the England that I remember.”
But not everyone is buying Hanson’s excuses. Spotlight reporter Liam Bartlett challenged Robinson over his criminal record, pointing out that he had been convicted of two violent assaults.
Robinson responded by threatening Bartlett, saying “You attack me now, or I’ll end up beating you up.” The exchange has raised serious concerns about Robinson’s temperament and Hanson’s decision to align herself with him.
Analysis: What This Means for Australia
Hanson’s meeting with Robinson has serious implications for Australia’s national security and social cohesion. By embracing extremist ideology, Hanson is sending a message that hate speech and anti-immigration rhetoric are acceptable in Australian politics.
This is a worrying trend, particularly given the rise of far-right extremism in Australia in recent years.
Security analysts say that Hanson’s actions are a clear example of the “normalisation of hate” in Australian politics.
“When a major party leader like Pauline Hanson meets with someone like Tommy Robinson, it sends a message that extremist views are acceptable,” said one analyst.
“This is a slippery slope, and it’s up to Australian voters to hold their leaders to account.”
Law enforcement insiders warn that Hanson’s actions could have serious consequences for community safety. “When you have a major party leader endorsing extremist ideology, it can embolden others to take action,” said one insider.
“We’ve seen this play out in other countries, and it’s a recipe for disaster.”
Industry observers believe that Hanson’s decision to meet with Robinson is a cynical attempt to court the far-right vote. “Hanson knows that she can’t win government without appealing to the extremes of Australian politics,” said one observer.
“But in doing so, she’s putting the country at risk of further division and extremism.”
As the full extent of Hanson’s meeting with Robinson becomes clear, Australians will be left wondering what this means for their country’s future. Will Hanson’s extremism be rewarded at the ballot box, or will voters reject her divisive ideology?
Only time will tell.
