Queensland senator elect Pauline Hanson has been labelled a "racist redneck" by an Aboriginal activist at Cairns Indigenous art fair.

A video showing Murrandoo Yanner lambasting the One Nation leader at the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair on Saturday has attracted hundreds of thousands of views on social media.

"You're just a racist redneck with your red hair. Go back to Ipswich and your fish and chip shop," Mr Yanner says, prompting cheers from a small crowd.

"You are intellectuality dishonest and you're not welcome here."

A spokesman for Ms Hanson said she would not be making a comment at this time.
