About the episode

In an interview on Sky News on Monday, 16 February, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson said there were, in her words "no good Muslims," and suggested future generations would suffer if more followers of the religion were allowed into Australia. Senator Hanson has now partially walked back on the comments, but has refused to offer a full apology. While, the backlash against her comments continues from all sides of politics, Australia's Islamophobia envoy has invited Senator Hanson to an Iftar dinner during the holy month of Ramadan, where he encourages her to ask questions directly.
