832,000 metro viewers tune in to see Pauline Hanson attempt to climb Uluru on A Current Affair
Despite her failure to actually scale it, controversial senator Pauline Hanson’s attempts to climb Uluru before the ban comes into place has drawn 832,000 metro viewers to Nine’s A Current Affair on Monday night.
The stunt comes as Hanson emphatically backs her belief that the landmark should stay open for climbs, despite both the danger and the cultural significance to Indigenous Australians.

And people worry about social media spreading misinformation.
Hardly bastions of great journalism but ACA, Today and Sunrise all seem to be fighting it out to give the Hansons of the world airtime.
Can people please stop giving Pauline Hanson anymore attention?
This story is foul, and the shock jock media room that benefit from this should be ashamed. The Media really needs to have a look at itself and what it’s willing to do to get ratings. Meanwhile actual news is happening with the Djab Wurrung people fighting to protect ancient birthing trees blocking a Vic Roads Western Highway…
Gutter journalism has become sewer-journalism. What a disgrace that this racist coward is given airtime by commercial channels.

Is this real? Can’t believe people still do stupid things to gain attention in the media.
Do you mean Question Time?
Nine should be ashamed.
This relic of racism past should not be given so much airtime to spout her hideous views.
