Raj Guruswamy, who is running for the Senate, dismissed all accusations against his party leader, adding: 'I think people are taking her out of context

'I definitely don't have a white skin. I'm definitely of Indian heritage. Both my parents and grandparents are all Indians, so I'm a proud Australian with Indian heritage.

'I wouldn't be up for election alongside her if she was racist.'

Ms Hanson twice struggled with Mr Guruswamy's name when she unveiled him as a Senate candidate for the May election at a press conference on Wednesday

She initially mispronounced it at the first attempt and then paused and stumbled over it again a few minutes later.

But Mr Guruswamy said if Ms Hanson was racist, he would have been sidelined by the sudden shock arrival of controversial former Coalition MP George Christensen.

Mr Christensen was also unveiled as a One Nation Senate candidate on Wednesday, in a shock U-turn after he said just days earlier that he was retiring from politics.

But Mr Christensen was added as One Nation's third-placed Senate candidate - which means it's virtually impossible he will return to Canberra - while Mr Guruswamy remained in the more possible second spot.

'If she was a racist, she would have swapped spots with me and Mr Christensen, but she hasn't,' Mr Guruswamy said.

'If she was racist, there is no way I would be standing in the second spot with her.'

The Brisbane father of two is a former corporate affairs manager with Indian giant Adani, who had previously personally persuaded Ms Hanson to back the company's massive Queensland coalmine projects.

He had earlier met with Ms Hanson's One Nation sidekick Malcolm Roberts over their shared scepticism about climate change, he said.

Mr Guruswamy, who is 57 on Saturday, arrived in Australia from India in 1992 and became a citizen in 1995.

Mr Guruswamy said he and One Nation were not against migration, but said they wanted more sustainable migration, with an annual cap set at less than half the projected figure.

'I don't think I've heard Pauline talk about 'We should stop immigration',' he told Daily Mail Australia

'She's only talking about sustainable immigration where the infrastructure - the housing, water, sewerage, and all the things - can be done
Yes , We got enough:- Petrol stations, cabs and Indian Resteraunts now. You wanna talk infrastructure? Quit overloading houses with people who try to Penny pinch and overloading the power to create a fire in it , the sewerage can't handle your traffic either! Now bugger off pest!


'The Coalition Budget said we will start bringing in 213,000 people. We don't want it to be 213,000, we want it to be a sustainable 100,000.'
 * Best solution send you and the rest of the Brown rats back and bring displaced whites from Ukraine and Sth Africa here instead!

He said his aim was to try to get into Parliament and bring about change.

'For me, leadership is all about influence,' he said.

'If I can influence the government and other people to do something right, where Australia is able to develop infrastructure and become a manufacturing country. '

He added: 'The majority of my working life has been in Australia. The simple reason to get the citizenship was to say that I am part of Australia.

'I want to love this country. I want to do something for the country.
*Then leave with the rest of your mob and abstain from breeding!


'And to me to get into the Senate - man, it is an absolutely humbling thought for me to even get the opportunity.'

Ms Hanson is fighting to hold her seat in the Senate at the May election with a suite of populist policies including reducing migration and foreign ownership.

The One Nation leader, who founded her party in 1997 and has been a senator since 2016, also wants to build more coal-fired power stations and stop disabled people charging taxpayers for sex workers.

Senator Hanson has been a vocal opponent of vaccine mandates and draconian Covid restrictions and wants a royal commission into government responses to the virus

Excerpt: One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has described Welcome to Country ceremonies as 'left-wing virtue signalling' and declared she is 'tired' of them

Senator Hanson made the controversial remarks after Anthony Albanese was booed while acknowledging traditional land owners on stage at Bluesfest in Byron Bay on Sunday night

It is common for politicians to be booed at events but some Australians were shocked that Anthony Albanese would get such a hostile reaction while trying to deliver a so-called ''welcome to country'', she wrote on her Facebook page.

'I don't know about you but I am very tired of being left out of the ''welcome'' to my own country.'

Welcomes to Country ceremonies between Indigenous Australian communities date back thousands of years.

TV presenter Ernie Dingo and musician Richard Walley performed the first for non-Indigenous Australians in 1976 at a festival in Perth.

Indigenous elders now regularly give a Welcome to Country at major events including sports games and concerts.   

'Some of you might not realise but this "welcome to country" isn't some ancient tradition. It is a modern invention,' Senator Hanson wrote.

'Just one of the many overused methods of left-wing virtue signalling that shoehorns politics and pandering into everyday life.

The One Nation leader said her party believes that 'everyone should be equal.'

'We shouldn't be elevating one group above others,' she wrote.

'We are all Australians equally sharing our country together.

'That's why you won't ever hear me welcoming people to their own country.'

Sparking discussion among her supporters, she added: 'I'm curious to know how others feel about it? Do people care or is this a classic case of the emperor having no clothes and everyone is going along with it but no one is ready to call it out?'

Many of her followers unsurprisingly agreed, saying the Welcome to Country was 'way overused'.

At Bluesfest on Sunday night Mr Albanese was brought on stage to introduce rock legend Jimmy Barnes.

He was initially met with deafening boos from revellers before receiving cheers as he promised a funding boost for the arts sector

The announcer introduced Albanese as 'the man that represents the working class people' as he asked festival-goers to give the Labor leader a 'world-class welcome'.

Albanese approached the stage to boos, telling the crowd it was 'great to be at Bluesfest

He then acknowledged the traditional owners of the land at Byron Bay.

'I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land in which we meet, pay my respect to elders past and present and what we want is to recognise First Nations people in our constitution

The outcry from revellers eventually quietened down before erupting into applause and cheers as Mr Albanese hinted at arts funding if his party was elected into government and he brought Barnes onto the stage.

One Nation is running candidates in all 151 lower house seats. Senator Hanson is battling to retain her Queensland senate spot
