Pauline Hanson : I am not a racist

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has denied she is a racist after complaining about the focus on indigenous culture during the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony. Wednesday's official opening on the Gold Coast featured indigenous performers Mau Power, the first hip-hop artist to emerge out of the Torres Strait, and world-renowned didgeridoo player William Barton. Senator Hanson has told Sky News she thought the "20 minutes" devoted to indigenous culture was "absolutely disgusting".
