'Racist redhead redneck': Hanson heckled in public at Indigenous art fair
Pauline Hanson has copped a spray from an Indigenous leader labeling her a "racist redneck" while she attended an art fair in far north Queensland.
Tensions were at an all time high when the incoming and often controversial Queensland senator arrived unannounced at the indigenous art fair on Saturday in Cairns.
As she was exiting the venue late in the afternoon when Murrandoo Yanner began heckling her in front of large crowds.
"You picked on Aboriginal people, now you are kicking the Muslims around," he yelled.
"You are just a racist redneck with your red hair. Go away, go back to Ipswich and your fish and chip shop.
"You're a disgraceful, you are a woman lacking moral fibre, you are intellectually dishonest and you are not welcome here."
Stunned onlookers who were witness to the outburst then broke into applause, some were cheering while others whistled.

The incident was filmed by several passersby and was then quickly posted to social media where it later went viral.
To date the footage has been viewed more than one million times.
Hanson did respond to the outburst but seemingly smiled throughout the clip.
At one point in the video she appears to turn around and face Yanner however she once again turns back again and keeps walking without speaking.
"She made no attempt to respond to him. Most other politicians would have," a spokeswoman for the art fair told News Corp.
Following the incident Hanson then proceeded to walk around the fair ground stopping to talk to various other members of the public.
Hanson has made a stunning political comeback after being elected to the senate in the July 2 federal election.
Recently she has controversially called for a ban on Muslim immigration to Australia after the Orlando nightclub shooting in the US.
