Pauline Hanson has offered a qualified apology for her comments about Indigenous Australians and Anthony Albanese's mother, which were widely condemned.
The apology came after an interview on News24, where Hanson initially defended her comments, but later backtracked in a press gallery corridor speech.
- double quotation markI don’t think my comments were derogatory towards his mother at all.
- I was referring to housing commission at that time.
- So if he’s taken offence to it, well, I’m sorry for that.
Key Takeaways
- The apology was made in a speech to a large crowd of journalists in the press gallery corridor
