Anthony Albanese has accused One Nation leader Pauline Hanson of badmouthing Australia on the international stage.Senator Hanson has spent much of the winter parliamentary break on a “fact-finding” mission in the UK meeting far-right figures and making headlines back home for controversial comments.She wrapped up her trip by addressing a conservative political conference in London where she said Australia was “stupid” for giving trans people rights and allowing burqas and declared she was “sick of hearing about white privilege”.In the days leading up to her address, she lamented the end of the White Australia policy on a podcast and claimed immigrants were “destroying” Australia like they had the UK.The Prime Minister said on Sunday afternoon that parliamentarians should “talk Australia up, not talk Australia down” while overseas.“When I have the opportunity to represent Australia overseas, I talk Australia up. I don’t talk Australia down,” Mr Albanese said.“I go as someone who’s proud to represent our nation and proud to talk about what we are as a nation.“There’s nowhere you’d rather be than Australia, and I think that it is up to our representatives, no matter where they stand in the parliament, when they’re overseas to talk Australia up, not talk Australia down.”He went on to say “we have created in this country an extraordinary nation, and it is something that the world is envious of”. “And that is why … it is the responsibility of people when they travel overseas to talk Australia up and to be proud of who we are and what we have created as a nation,” Mr Albanese said.Immigrants ‘destroying’ AustraliaAppearing in an episode of Seven’s Spotlight that aired on Sunday night, Senator Hanson said she backed mass deportations and revealed she planned to mimic the hard line policies of hard-right UK counterparts.She was filmed meeting with Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe who has touted plans for “mass deportations” of foreign-born migrants.Asked if she supported the policy and would like a similar scheme in Australia, she told Spotlight: “I love it.”Asked how she would implement mass deportations and the logistics of it, she said: “These are things that will be discussed with the relevant authorities to see the best way to go about it.” “I’m not gonna give you politics on the run here of how I’m going to deal with it,” she said.“This will be discussed … as I do with everything in policy, I discuss it with the relevant people.”She later said she supported the deportation of “the ones that are here illegally in the country”.Senator Hanson has come under particular scrutiny for her meeting with far-right activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who goes by the moniker Tommy Robinson.Mr Yaxley-Lennon has a string of convictions ranging from assault to stalking.British authorities have also investigated him for his ties to Russian government propagandists and travels to Moscow.Both Australia and the UK regard Russia as a hostile country and have slapped severe sanctions on it for invading Ukraine.Mr Yaxley-Lennon first became involved in politics in the mid-2000s as a member of the British National Party – a fascist party with no elected representatives at any level of government.He rose to prominence early last decade after co-founding the English Defence League and staging anti-Islam street protests across the UK.He has in recent years rebranded himself as an independent media figure and is associated with several alt-right outlets and activist groups.During their podcast interview Mr Yaxley-Lennon again praised Senator Hanson as a figure he had “looked up to for years”.As they talked through migration, the anti-Islam campaigner asked how Australia had “Pakistanis, Somalis, all of these African problems with violent Africans?”“I’ve seen some crazy videos coming out of Australia,” he said.“How has that happened when you have such a strong immigration policy?”Senator Hanson said it “started” when former prime minister Gough Whitlam “opened up and got rid of the White Australia policy”.“Then they started bringing in different migrants,” she said.The White Australia policy, embedded in the Immigration Restriction Act of 1901, was a series of race-based laws restricting non-European immigration to preserve a white and largely British society.The policy was gradually dismantled until former prime minister Gough Whitlam fully abolished it with bipartisan support in 1973.Since her interview with Mr Yaxley-Lennon, Senator Hanson has rejected “false allegations” that she was advocating for the policy.“Do I want people from certain countries that want to wear the burqa? No,” she said in a social media video.“What about those marrying their cousins? No. Sharia law? No. Child marriages? No.”That video was posted just moments before she told a black-tie conservative conference dinner in London that immigrants were “destroying” Australia like they had the UK.“What I find is happening around the world is that leaders are not doing their best to protect our nations and are being controlled by international interests, and we are not the countries that we once were,” she told the room.“I see in Australia the problems that you have in Britain. I see immigration is destroying our country as it has destroyed yours.”
