Hanson calls for bar on Muslims

Pauline Hanson

CANBERRA - Right-wing Senate candidate Pauline Hanson has urged the Government to impose a moratorium on Muslims entering Australia.

The former One Nation leader is seeking to register Pauline's United Australia Party in her bid for a political comeback by winning a Queensland senate seat in the federal election.

She says she will target Muslims in her campaign.

"I want a moratorium put on the number of Muslims coming into Australia," she said. "People have a right to be concerned about this because of the terrorist attacks that have happened throughout the world."
