Pauline Hanson questions ‘Aboriginal’ definition

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says the language allegedly used by Indigenous leader Noel Pearson with a Queensland minister is "disgusting", and should be reviewed under section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.

Senator Hanson says the section's current limits are too broad, and restrict free speech.

She has told Sky news her only judge is the people of Australia.

"If I'm going to come out and say something that's extreme, like Noel Pearson has, with regards to this, well then the people will judge us, the people will have their say and then I'll be shut down by the public. I don't need someone sitting in their office, making their determination -- I'll let the people judge me before that."
