One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has spoken out against rapper Macklemore performing at this weekend’s NRL grand final.

The rapper, most notable for his LGBTI affirming hit Same Love, has come under strife from conservatives in Australia for deciding to perform the song at the sporting event.

Speaking to Channel 7’s Sunrise, Hanson said she didn’t know who Macklemore was.

“It’s absolutely ridiculous,” she said.

“I think people have had it up to here with the same-sex marriage issue. This is a game. It’s in their face, and people are fed up with it.

“We’ve got so many other great artists in this country that we could actually put up there. Why do we bring in someone from overseas? A lot of his songs… you wouldn’t even want to play them because of the lyrics.

“I won’t be going anyway. I won’t be listening to him, he doesn’t interest me.”

When asked who she would like to see perform instead of Macklemore, Hanson had an alternate suggestion.

“Put Johnny Farnham up there,” she said.

“Don’t bring some whoever up from overseas, I don’t have a clue who they are. Put an Aussie up there.”

  1. I feel that Hanson is secretly dying to come out in full force against gay marriage but since returning to politics she has been surprisingly quiet on gay issues. I think she is still vehemently against us but she is just picking her fights and at the moment it is Muslims.

  2. Pauline. If you don’t know who he is. You shouldn’t have an opinion. It makes you look like a Neanderthal. I have given you support and credence. I’m not gay. Iv’e been with my missus since we were 14. And gone through more hell than 10 normal humans. But you are an OXYGEN THIEF. Call and find out what problems are. But I’m not Cu&T. like you. I have issues with the possible butterfly effect. But you are now redundant.

  3. Ha ha the most recent musical reference Pauline Hanson can come up with is a bloke who’s older than she is!

    You get the sense that she was neither a cool kid at school nor one of the pop culture nerds. She must have just been a thug back then too, fitting right into the Bjelke-Pietersen era in Ipswich.
