One Nation leader Pauline Hanson is standing by comments from fellow One Nation senator Brian Burston in which he claims multiculturalism in Australia has failed.
Senator Burston, in his opening speech to parliament, has also called for an overhaul of the ABC and SBS and for establishing what he calls a "patriotic" broadcasting network.
Ms Hanson says she was proud of Mr Burston's speech.
"It needed to be said. And, yes, the ABC does need to be pulled into line. It is a broadcasting network for the whole of Australia. I'd like to see more of a balanced view."
Senator Burston, a former local councillor and a newly elected New South Wales senator, accused the public broadcasters of bias.
He said they support what he called an "aggressive political multiculturalism."
"The ABC's oppositional stance to traditional Australia has grown to include the two other taxpayer-funded public broadcasters - the Special Broadcasting Service, SBS, whose explicitly ethnic mission is to cater to the identity and interests of the multicultural community, and, most recently, the National Indigenous Television Network, NITV, created to represent the identity and interests of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders. All three broadcasters are biased against mainstream Australia."
Senator Burston has called for establishing a new channel to present the perspective of what he called "the historic Australian nation."
"A fair balance might be struck by leaving the minority ethnic channels intact while transferring funding from the ABC to establish a new channel that might be called the Patriotic Broadcasting Corporation, whose explicit mission would be to represent the identity and interests of mainstream Australia."
Senator Burston claimed multiculturalism has failed.
He said the current migrant and refugee intake is too high and was having a negative impact on community safety.
"Carjackings, home invasions, flash riots, drive by shootings and, of course, when citizens object, endless complaints, under section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. Organised crime, patterns of antisocial behaviour - especially amongst young men - welfare dependency, imprisonment rates three times the national average, and the long-term threat of terrorism and questionable loyalty."
Senator Burston said, while One Nation does not advocate racially selective immigration, it does seek to minimise cultural incompatibility.
He said that incompatibilty is evident in the case of Muslim immigration.
