One of Australia's most prominent Indigenous journalists has hailed One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's expulsion from the Today show but lamented the 'virtue-signalling' attention given to calls to pull down statues.

ought to have come down. Charles Edward Kingston, the early South Australian premier who gave women the right to vote and supported Australian federation but also backed the White Australia policy, should stay overlooking Adelaide though.If there was a debate to be had on statues, Boney argued there should be more statues of Indigenous icons and greater context around those celebrating controversial figures that stayed up.Senator Hanson though had to go, Boney said.

Nine, also the owner of this masthead, cut ties with Senator Hanson over her "ill-informed and divisive" comments shortly after. Senator Hanson will no longer appear as a regular guest on the program.Boney acknowledged Senator Hanson represents a sizeable chunk of Australians and said their views, though contrary to her own, should be heard.

"But when they cross over to being mean and causing division, and vilifying a whole group of people, I think that's a whole other story," said Boney, who grew up in public housing.Labor's environment spokeswoman Terri Butler branded that response a "cop out", saying Senator Hanson had a long history of "racist" remarks from her claim in 1996 that Australia was in danger of being "swamped by Asians" onwards .

I’m with Pauline - Australia needs free speaking Politicians regardless of what the Left want to Puppeteer. Today show dropped ratings this week behind ABC because of Pauline. Go Woke, Go Broke , channel 9. ABC does that & we want them defunded too.

Brooke Boney seems more reasoned than Terri Butler

Prominent journalist, lol...she’s a fucken entertainment report on that shit show Today....useless

Perhaps Booney could turn her attention to the real aboriginal problem instead of pretending she cares

According to this the ABC agree with Pauline Hanson. I think the ABC should be cancelled.

..... While she couldn't stop giggling at the theatrics of Christopher Pyne. She's not Fair Dinkum!

She’s an entertainment reporter for Christ sake. There are far more serious indigenous journalists out there.

That terrible 'Boat person' statue of Captain Jimmy Cook, should be deported by our Border Farce!

Indigenous as in born in Australia.

How dare politically incorrect opinions be aired amongst cancel culture panelists! Lamestream media once again a safe space for progressives!

Why has the journalist have an opinion worth reporting. The msm are becoming very self involved.

Prominent journalists? She is nothing more than an entertainment reporter.

Bigots against bigotry

Not quite sure why we’re quoting the opinions of an entertainment reporter ? Oh, is it because she’s Aboriginal and that somehow, in today’s ever-so-woke world makes her opinion more valid? FFS

I would suggest you speak to nyunggai JNampijinpa and Josieamycashman PaulineHansonOz is more about herself in the headlines then helping the community. She is a pain on the right wing butt as she loads the bullets for articles just like this!

Would be great if InsidersABC invited Brooke on. She is marvellous! What about it David_Speers ?

anyone who says houso blocks do not have big problems with drugs are lying BS'ers

No, she just thought it was secondary to the important things like ... stop killing our indigenous people. Simple ask, really.

Defining oneself as 'Indigenous' is definitionally racist. (PS just LUV the capital 'I')

Ok then, from now on , LABEL all journalists by their race then. Any prominent white journalists there?

Cross promotion by SMH for click bait. The Today Show understood her history before using her for commentary and by now professing outrage at her over the top comments is hypocritical in the extreme . I'm sure MacSween or Latham can adequately fill the outrage, click bait space .

Brooke Boney the far lefts golden girl spinning her rubbish on Q&A. How much torture can viewers go through.

Funny how these people are all so happy to silence all dissent. It’s not like her views are going anywhere, and this move simply proves leftists are scared of what she has to say. What a bunch of weak losers. 😂

Plain talk might not be nuanced but it's still important

Who? No wonder the ratings tank when quota systems and virtue signalling replaces talent and the ability to do the job

Australia don’t have any prominent journalists. They’re Socialist activists.

Who’s Brooke Boney?

Indigenous? yeah right. Maybe 1 great grandparent.

One of the Gimmegrants on Sky saying they delivered the “Wrong Food”... “They are NOT listening to us”..... how about we deliver a few hundred plane tickets you ungrateful fucks

One of the 'most prominent ' indigenous journalists in Australia is the entertainment reporter for today,that's not good.

Sorry Brooke who?

bill_dobell Close down debate and you edge closer to emulating Communist China. SMH and 9 are unreadable and unwatchable. Good luck... you’ll need it.

Oh so people dont like other people actually having an opinion. Are we living in communist China? And what is so special about being an indigenous journalist? We are all indigenous to Australia. If you are born here you are indigenous ...and Pauline Hanson is right.

Prominent? She does fluff pieces on that lefty toerag Today Show!

One of Australia's most prominent Indigenous journalists WB: Why did you say Indigenous journalists? WHY? Divide us? I am, you are, we are all Australians

Pauline Hanson booted from Today Show after backlash on Melbourne public housing commentsThe One Nation leader won’t be returning to Nine’s ‘Today Show’ after comments she made about residents under hard lockdown in Flemington and North Melbourne’s public housing estates. Hanson said they were from “war-torn countries”, and should be used to their current conditions. Glad TheTodayShow gives Hanson the platform to speak, because when some say racism doesn’t exist in 🇦🇺 and we’re the most successful multicultural society in the 🌎, I can point to this and remind them that people elected this bigot to be in the Senate. Covid19Vic COVID19Aus Stop giving her a bloody platform TheTodayShow. Well said?
