Mayor responds to Pauline Hanson’s ‘divisive’ Lakemba claim
Pauline Hanson has this morning claimed people are now unable to go to certain Australian suburbs, like Lakemba, because they are “unwelcome”.
Bilal El-Hayek, Mayor of Canterbury-Bankstown Council, which includes Lakemba, told Mark Levy that Hanson’s comments are “another attempt to be divisive and inflame a situation”, and he personally invited her to come to Lakemba yesterday.
