Albanese Rejects Hanson's Monocultural Australia Call, Saying It Misreads 2026 Nation

Summary
Anthony Albanese on Tuesday dismissed Pauline Hanson’s call for a “monocultural” Australia, calling it divisive and “nonsense.”
The prime minister said modern Australia “is not a monoculture, and never has been,” rejecting the idea that the country should return to a past he said never existed.
His rebuke targeted comments Hanson made last week as the One Nation leader again pushed a far-right vision that Albanese said does not represent Australia in 2026.
