Pauline Hanson’s anti-Islam post in wake of London attack slammed by Bill Shorten

Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has lashed out at Pauline Hanson after the One Nation leader used the London attacks to renew her call to stop Muslims from immigrating to Australia.

Senator Hanson took to social media in the immediate aftermath of the attack to say “stop Islamic immigration before it is too late”.

It was accompanied by a graphic mimicking the “Run, Hide, Tell” emergency message released by British police earlier in the day.

UK police were telling people to run to a safe place and hide if they were caught up in a terror attack, before calling emergency services.

One Nation’s graphic recasts that slogan as a call for a sweeping immigration overhaul.

Australian Senator Sam Dastyari describes panic and dread setting in LONDON terror attack

“Panic and dread” gripped Saturday night revellers as the London terror attack unfolded, says Australian federal senator Sam Dastyari, who is in the British capital.

Senator Dastyari was “having a quiet meal” in a restaurant in Borough, near London Bridge, as attackers ploughed a van into crowds on the bridge and then got out and stabbed bystanders, before targeting people in nearby restaurants and bars.

“We heard screaming — You could obviously tell there was an incident and someone starts running past, obviously covered in blood, kind of down the street,” Senator Dastyari told ABC News.
