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.
