Support for Sentinelese `people in Australian Senate 

Senator Pauline Hanson moved  a  motion in Senate, calling for it to "support the desire of the Sentinelese people to protect their culture and way of life".

"Immigration can have a devastating impact on a people's culture and way of life," Senator Hanson said.

"You would be hard pressed to find a single expert who would argue against protecting the Sentinelese people's culture and way of life through limiting migration to their island.

"I for one will not be condemning the Sentinelese as racist for keeping their borders closed, nor will I condemn them for their lack of diversity."

"All people should have a right to decide their own fate, and I'm disappointed the Senate refused to join me in acknowledging this."
