Speaking at the inaugural British spin-off of America’s Conservative Political Action Conference, Hanson joined Nigel Farage and Liz Truss. She described a visit to Tower Hamlets in east London as a “rude awakening”, saying she felt she was in another country. “London? No, thank you. That’s my opinion,” she said, adding that Australia is about five to ten years behind England in cultural decline.

White Privilege and Immigration
Towards the end of her speech, Hanson told attendees: “Do not apologise for being white. I’m sick of hearing about white privilege. We are all human beings.” She argued that while we must learn from past mistakes, we should not repeat them in reverse. In leaked audio from a conference dinner, she reportedly said “immigration is destroying our country as it has destroyed yours.”
