A Victoria police assistant commissioner, Ross Guenther, said episodes like the Hanson stunt “tend to undermine” work with Muslim community leaders, while the Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young told the One Nation leader she was “doing Isis’s work for them”. Asked about the stunt on Monday, Guenther said: “I think things such as that don’t obviously help with our drive to build social cohesion. The Greens senator said advice from security and intelligence agencies was that “acts and stunts like this only served to incite more violence and hatred from … extremists on both sides”. Hanson-Young cited security experts who have said the stunt will now be used as “fodder for promoting extremism”, warning the One Nation leader that she was “doing Isis’s work for them”. The Greens want to open Australia’s borders, they are weak on security and regularly pander to ideological extremists.
