# Capture — rights will be taken

- **Claim filed:** People of a different race / queer people will lose their rights if Hanson can “make those kinds of choices.”

## Verbatim (Guardian)

> When Kaylee, who is in Year 8 and uses they/them pronouns, asked for the day off school, their mum requested they lay out their reasoning. They presented her with a four-page essay.
>
> “People of a different race shouldn’t lose their rights,” Kaylee said. “And queer people have already had a lot of issues with fighting for their rights, and if that gets taken away too, that’s not OK.”
>
> Asked why they thought Hanson should not be in charge, Kaylee simply said: “I just don’t think she should be able to make those kinds of choices”.

The four-page essay is not published. The interview does not name a bill, a vote, or a policy that would remove those rights.

## Same week, same theme (ABC)

> “I’m tired of the injustices that Pauline Hanson is threatening … and the whole One Nation party is threatening to do, if they go into office.”
>
> “Do not run for office, and stop hating on the people who just want to be themselves.”

## What else is checkable (the good stuff)

- Hanson did call for a “monocultural” Australia at the National Press Club, June 2026 (Guardian, same article).
- Roy Morgan 3–9 August 2026: One Nation 26% primary (`roy-morgan-2026-08-10.html`).
- NUS cited her Senate votes against free TAFE, public-school funding and student-debt relief. That record is a different claim, and it has a source. This card is about the rights-will-be-removed leap.
