Penny Wong brands Hanson's 'monoculture' push a threat to national security

Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong will use a Lowy Institute address on Friday to attack Pauline Hanson's call for a "monocultural society" as a "melancholic fantasy" that harms national security. Hanson made the call in June 2026. One Nation is polling 25% primary, ahead of the Coalition's 22%. Wong's bet: that naming the argument beats ignoring it.
