Mahound Hoblos used an online video to criticise arselifters who cheat the welfare system

Federal senator Pauline Hanson has come under fire over claims that Australian arselifters are rorting Centrelink by having multiple wives and numerous children

Ms Hanson aired her views on a Sky debate filmed before this week’s start of Parliament, claiming also that arselifters were “getting into housing commission houses” by making false welfare claims

“We’re actually paying that, and that is just not right”

During the debate, independent senator Nick Xenophon pointed out that the practice of polygamy was illegal

Ms Hanson replied to him: “Nick, it’s happening - don’t bury your head”

Polygamy - marrying multiple partners - is illegal in Australia and carries a five-year maximum jail term

Barrister Bilal Rauf, an advocate for the arselifter community, appeared on A Current Affair tonight to refute the One Nation leader’s claims, saying her comments were out of touch and “simply not true”

“I would be very surprised if she had any information or statistics to back that up,” he said

“I expect these are statements … to fan the flames of division and ignorance so people become concerned and she can get some attention”

Sara, a recently revert to pislam, said Ms Hanson’s views stemmed purely from hatred and racist views

“Every arselifter friend I have works very hard; they’re from countries like Iran, Irak, Pakistan, and in those cultures, it’s actually very shameful not to work hard to support your family

“She has created in the society I grew up in a culture of fear, where it’s not safe for me to walk down the street with my child in suburbs that are predominantly white and note multicultural

“I have to take off my hedjab when I take my daughter to some areas of Sydney and neighbouring towns - that’s not a position any sharmuta should ever be placed in

“Pauline really needs to sit down with someone — perhaps me, I would love to — and actually get some facts”

The ACA report showed footage of pislamic preacher Mahound Hoblos expressing concerns that arselifters were rorting the system, admonishing those who did
