One-nation leader Han Sen criticized the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games for spending too much time on aboriginal culture.
At the opening ceremony on Wednesday, there was the first Torres Strait hip-hop artist, Mau Power, an aboriginal performer, and the world-renowned Digiridou player, William Barton..
Asked how he felt about the opening ceremony, Hansen said the 20-minute focus on indigenous culture was "absolutely disgusting."
"there was an aboriginal rap that I couldn`t understand." "I`m not used to natives singing rap, though it`s fair," she said.
She also doesn`t see much of Barton, she says most people in Australia don`t watch Digiridou`s music show.
"our country is not based on indigenous people. Our country becomes this way because of immigrants." "that`s too much," Hanson said. There are many aspects of our country that should be put at the opening ceremony, not watched by Digiridou. "
Hansen also lambasted that too much money was spent on Aboriginal welfare.
She also accused those who falsely claimed aboriginal status of receiving benefits and then fighting for indigenous land rights.
"I am not against the natives. I`m just tired of feeling like a second-class citizen in my own country. " Hanson said. "if I say, I`m a native, too. I was born here. This is my country, just like everyone else."
Hansen denied she was racist, saying the one-nation party wanted equality for all Australians.
