Twenty years after first taking her seat in parliament, Pauline Hanson says she is older and wiser.
It is clear she is no less controversial.
Speaking to media in Brisbane, Ms Hanson has reiterated her calls for a royal commission into Islam, examining whether it is a religion or a political ideology.
She says she is concerned the growth of Islam is related to too many of the world's problems.

"We've seen it happen in Denmark and England and Germany and France and Tunisia, Egypt and America, everywhere. Do you want to see terrorism on our streets here? Do you want to see our Australians murdered?"
Pauline Hanson says she wants to see surveillance in mosques and schools in Australia.
She wants the Islamic garments, the burqa and the niqab, banned and a halt to Muslim immigration and refugee intake.
And she has defended those policies at a heated media conference.

"How many of you really get out there and question the imams who actually preach hate towards us, and their hatred, you know?"
The director of the Muslim Legal Network in New South Wales, Zaahir Edries, says the comments are tiresome, outdated and inflammatory.

"It's not only not helpful, but actually contrary to what Australia stands for. So taking the approach that we don't want any Muslims, for example, is just a really silly one. The idea that we over-police a particular community is pretty ludicrous. We like to think Australians, for the most part ... you know, Muslims are, you know, we're your neighbours, we are your doctors, your lawyers, your friends and colleagues."
In 1996 in her maiden speech, Pauline Hanson fuelled outrage when she warned Australia was being swamped by Asians.
Twenty years on, she stands by that claim.

"Well, you go and ask a lot of people in Sydney -- at Hurstville, or some of those other suburbs -- they feel they have been swamped by Asians."
SBS travelled to the Sydney suburb, which has a large Chinese-Australian population, to ask residents their reactions to Pauline Hanson's comments.

(First:) "I think she is a waste of oxygen. She's against Muslims, she's against Asians, she's against everybody."
(Second:) "For me, I think we cannot stop the immigration. We need more and more people to hold the Australia economics."
(Third:) "I think it's a bit ridiculous. Like, they're coming here to make a home for themselves. They have families and stuff. They come here to make jobs, creating jobs, owning businesses. Like, they're making money. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
