I, Andrea-Marie Farrugia, solicitor, of Level 4, 343 George St, Sydney NSW 2000 affirm:
1. I am a solicitor of the firm Marque Lawyers, the solicitors for the Applicant.
2. Unless otherwise indicated, I make this affidavit on my own knowledge, information and belief.
Where I depose to matters on information and belief, I believe those matters to be true.
Notice of intention to adduce tendency evidence
3. On 3 October 2023, Marque Lawyers filed a Notice of intention to adduce tendency evidence
(Original Notice) on behalf of the Applicant. An amended copy of the Original Notice was
subsequently filed with the Court on 19 February 2024 (Amended Notice).
4. As explained at paragraphs 37-39 of this affidavit, the Original Notice and the Amended Notice are
substantively the same, other than some minor typographical errors being rectified (in
underline/strike through) in the Amended Notice. Accordingly and for ease, where I refer to the
Original Notice and the Amended Notice together, I do so by referencing the Notice.
5. In this affidavit, and unless otherwise indicated, where I refer to a particular statement attributed to
the Respondent which is referred to in the Notice, I do so by referencing the relevant line item
number for that statement, being the number which appears in the first column (labelled No.) of
the table entitled Schedule of Conduct which is included at pages 2-49 of the Notice.
6. Between about 2 June 2023 and 3 October 2023, I sourced content to be included in the Notice.
During this period, I did the following.
(a) I conducted a number of searches to identify and source the statements attributed to the
Respondent which are referred to in the Notice. Further details in relation to the searches I
conducted, and caused to be conducted, are outlined at paragraphs 7 to 366 of this affidavit.
(b) I caused Mr Xander Schwarz, a former paralegal under the employ of Marque Lawyers, to
identify and source the statements attributed to the Respondent which are referred to in the
Notice. Mr Schwarz is no longer employed by Marque Lawyers. Accordingly, and to the
extent Mr Schwarz conducted any searches in relation to the Notice:
(i) I am unable to access Mr Schwarzs computer or his computer profile, and as a result
I am unable to confirm the specific searches he conducted, however I believe, based
on the instructions I gave to Mr Schwarz, that his searches would have been similar to
those which I detail at paragraphs 7 to 366 of this affidavit; and
(ii) I reviewed any material identified by Mr Schwarz for the purpose of confirming
whether it should be included in the Notice.
Preliminary searches
7. Prior to undertaking searches to identify and source the statements attributed to the Respondent
which are referred to in the Notice, I conducted, and caused to be conducted, searches using
Google to identify incidents involving the Respondent which had been reported in the media, and
which in my view, showed the Respondent demonstrating the tendencies referred to at paragraphs
[1(a)]-[1(b)] of the Notice (Incidents).
8. I cannot recall the specific search terms I used to identify the Incidents, and I am unable to retrieve
this information from my search history because my Google Chrome profile includes a feature
AFarrugia
CB2054
3
which permanently deletes my search history after 90 days. I believe this feature was
automatically enabled at the time I commenced using Google Chrome because I do not recall
setting it up.
9. The purpose of undertaking the searches described in the paragraph 8 above was to familiarise
myself with the Incidents, and to identify the kinds of statements which the Respondent made in
response to, or throughout, the Incidents. I then used this information to inform the searches
(including the specific terms) I describe at paragraphs 10-36 below.
B. Social media
Hanson Twitter Account
10. Line items 21, 24, 38-44, 48-52, 57, 60, 64, 71-72, 76-77, 85 of the Notice refer to statements
made by the Respondent in Tweets which were published to the Respondents Twitter account
@PaulineHansonOz (Hanson Twitter Account) between 25 July 2013 and 5 July 2023 (Hanson
Tweets).
11. I identified and sourced copies of the Hanson Tweets by doing the following.
(a) I conducted searches of the tweets which have been published to the Hanson Twitter
Account using the Advanced Search feature on Twitter which is accessible via the following
link;
https://twitter.com/search-advanced?lang=en. For the reasons explained at paragraph
8 above, I am unable to retrieve my search history through Google Chrome, and as a result I
am unable to access the specific searches I conducted using the Advanced Search feature.
However, to the best of my knowledge and recollection, I believe that the search parameters
I used to identify and source the Hanson Tweets are as follows.
(i) Typing Pauline HansonOz into the search bar entitled From these accounts; and
(ii) Typing combinations of the following search terms into the search bar entitled Any of
these words.
(A) Islam and Islamic;
(B) Muslim;
(C) Burqa and Burqa ban;
(D) Aboriginal, Aborigine, Aboriginals, Aborigines, Indigenous and Mob;
(E) ISIS and ISIL;
(F) Halal;
(G) Sharia;
(H) Pray4MuslimBan and PrayforMuslimBan;
(I) Africa and African;
(J) China and Chinese; and
(K) Asia, Asian and Asians.

(b) Between about 2 June 2023 and about 3 October 2023, I reviewed the Hanson Twitter
Account on occasion to identify whether any tweets which had been posted by the
Respondent throughout this period should be included in the Notice. I do not recall how
frequently I reviewed the Hanson Twitter Account throughout this period, however to the best
of my recollection, I believe that it was approximately once to twice per month.
(c) I reviewed an article entitled The Burqa Ban, Islamophobia, and the Effects of Racial
“Othering” in Australian Political Discourses’, authored by Benafsha Askarazai and published
in the Australian Journal of Politics and History, Volume 68, number 2, 2022, which I sourced
through the Wiley Online Library by conducting a search of the words Pauline Hanson and
racist. Pages 238-241 of this article contain a list of tweets which are attributed to the
Respondent and/or the Hanson Twitter Account.
(d) I also conducted various searches through the Google search engine. For the reasons
explained at paragraph 8 above, I am unable to retrieve my search history through Google
Chrome, and as a result I am unable to access the exact search terms I used to conduct
these searches. However, to the best my recollection, I believe that the searches I
conducted were combinations of some or all of the search terms referred to in paragraph
11(a)(ii) above, along with the words Pauline Hanson Twitter, Pauline Hanson Tweets
and racist.
Hanson Facebook
12. Line items 27-28, 31-32, 55-56, 62, 65-66, 68-70, 78-80 and 86 of the Notice refer to statements
which were published to the Facebook page Pauline Hansons Please Explain (Hanson
Facebook) between about 19 April 2015 and 6 July 2023 (Hanson Facebook Posts). The
Hanson Facebook is accessible via the following link;
https://www.facebook.com/PaulineHansonAu.
13. I identified and sourced copies of the Hanson Facebook Posts by doing the following.
(a) I conducted searches of the Facebook posts which have been published to the Hanson
Facebook using the search bar entitled Search which is accessible through the Hanson
Facebook. For the reasons explained at paragraph 8 above, I do not have access to the
exact the search terms I used to identify the Hanson Facebook Posts, however, to the best
of my recollection I believe that they were a combination of some or all of the search terms
referred to in paragraph 11(a)(ii) above.
(b) Between about 2 June 2023 and about 3 October 2023, I reviewed the Hanson Facebook on
occasion to identify whether any Facebook posts which had been published to the Hanson
Facebook throughout this period should be included in the Notice. I am unable to recall how
frequently I reviewed the Hanson Facebook, however to the best of my recollection, I believe
that it was approximately once per month.
(c) I conducted various searches through the Google search engine. For the reasons explained
at paragraph 8 above, I do not have access to the exact search terms I used to conduct
these searches, however, to the best my recollection, I believe that they were combinations
of some or all of the search terms referred to in paragraph 11(a)(ii) above, along with the
words Pauline Hanson Facebook, Pauline Hanson Facebook posts and racist.

C. YouTube videos

14. Line items 25, 53, 58, 73-75, 83 of the Notice refer to statements made by the Respondent in
videos which have been published to the YouTube account entitled Pauline Hansons Please
Explain (Hanson YouTube) between about 25 October 2014 and 4 July 2023 (Hanson YouTube
Videos). The Hanson YouTube is accessible via the following link;
https://www.youtube.com/@PaulineHansonsPleaseExplain.
15. I identified and sourced copies of the Hanson YouTube Videos by doing the following.
(a) I conducted various searches on YouTube by typing specific search terms into the search
bar. For the reasons explained at paragraph 8 above, I do not have access to the exact
search terms I used to conduct these searches, however, to the best of my recollection, I
believe that were combinations of some or all of the search terms referred to in paragraph
11(a)(ii) above, along with the words Pauline Hanson and Pauline Hanson Please
Explain.
(b) I viewed, and/or instructed Mr Schwarz to view, several videos that are available on the
‘Videos tab (which is accessible through the Hanson YouTube via the following link
https://www.youtube.com/@PaulineHansonsPleaseExplain/videos) for the purpose of
identifying potential videos to be included in the Notice. To the extent Mr Schwarz identified
any such videos, I then reviewed those videos to confirm whether they should be included in
the Notice.
(c) I conducted various searches using Google. For the reasons explained at paragraph 8
above, I do not have access to the exact search terms I used to conduct these searches,
however, to the best my recollection, I believe that they were combinations of some or all of
the search terms referred to in paragraph 11(a)(ii) above. I also recall searching for videos
which showed some of the Incidents by using search terms which described those Incidents.
16. Line items 88-92 of Notice refer to statements which have been published in episodes of the
animation series entitled ‘Pauline Hanson’s Please Explain, which was created by Stepmates
Studios and which is available on the Hanson YouTube (Animation Series). I instructed Mr
Schwarz to view the Animation Series for the purpose of identifying potential videos to be included
in the Notice. I then reviewed the videos identified by Mr Schwarz to confirm whether they should
be included in the Notice.
Other YouTube videos
17. Line items 18, 26, 45 and 59 of the Notice refer to statements made by the Respondent in videos
which have been published by various users to YouTube between 27 April 2010 and 6 July 2017. I
identified and sourced copies of this material by conducting the searches referred to in paragraphs
15(a) and 15(c) above.

D. Media articles and media appearances
18. Line items 2, 9, 13, 17, 19-20, 23, 30, 33, 34, 46, 61, 63, 84, 93 refer to statements which are
attributed to the Respondent and which were published in various media articles between 30
November 1996 and 5 July 2023 (Media Articles).
19. I identified and sourced copies of the Media Articles by conducting searches on Google. For the
reasons explained at paragraph 8 above, I do not have access to the specific searches I used to
identify the Media Articles, however, to the best of my recollection, I believe that they included the
term Pauline Hanson, along with combinations of some or all of:
(a) the search terms referred to in paragraph 11(a)(ii) above; and
(b) the following further search terms:
(i) racist and racism;
(ii) true black; and
(c) descriptions of the Incidents.
20. Line items 6, 22, 35, 47, 54, 87 of the Notice refer to statements made by the Respondent in
various media appearances that she made between about 1996 and 19 July 2023. I identified and
sourced copies of the videos referred to in those line items by conducting the searches referred to
in paragraph 19 above.
E. Other material
Material obtained through libraries
21. Using the search terms referred to at paragraph 19 above, and reviewing the material contained in
the search results which were responsive to those search terms, I identified a number of further
sources that attributed statements to the Respondent, but which I was unable to access through
the resources available on Google and the Respondents social media accounts. I have
summarised this material, along with the steps I took to source this material and annex it to the
Notice at paragraphs 22-322 below.
22. Line item 1 of the Notice refers to a statement which is attributed to the Respondent in an article
entitled ‘Hanson Says no to Asiawhich was authored by Simon Kelly and published by The
Queensland Times on or about 7 June 1996 (Hanson Says No Article). I obtained a copy of the
Hanson Says No Article by doing the following.
(a) I instructed Ms Stephanie Tran, a paralegal under the employ of Marque Lawyers, to source
the Hanson Says No Article from the State Library of Queensland on 28 September 2023.
(b) I am informed by Ms Tran and believe that she subsequently:
(i) submitted a webform through the website for the State Library of Queensland
requesting a copy of the Hanson Says No Article; and
(ii) received an email from the State Library of Queensland which attached (among other
things) the Hanson Says No Article.

documentary entitled ‘Pauline Hanson: Please Explain!’ which was directed by Anna Broinowski
and initially released on or about 31 July 2016 (Documentary). I am informed by my colleague,
Ms Lauren Gasparini, and believe that she watched the Documentary on Prime Video on 1
September 2023 and identified the statements referred to in these line items.
34. On about 28 October 2023, I am instructed by Ms Gabby Lee, a legal secretary under the employ
of Marque Lawyers, and believe that she subsequently purchased the Documentary from the
Google Play Store.
Media and press releases
35. Line items 12, 14 and 15 of the Notice refer to statements made by the Respondent in press
releases which were published between about 1 October 1997 and about 31 December 1997. I

(a) reviewing the press releases available on Trove, and
which can be accessed via the following link;
https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/1999072713

F. Revised notice
37. Subsequent to the Original Notice being filed with the Court, I identified that:
(a) electronic links contained in the sealed copy of the Original Notice did not work in that they
either could not be clicked, or redirected to incorrect webpages;
(b) the annexure markings on pages 50 to 263 of the sealed copy of the Original Notice had
been removed; and
(c) some of the descriptions of the statements and particulars referred to in the table included at
pages 2-49 of the Original Notice contained typographical errors.
38. I believe that the issues referred to in paragraph 37(a)-(b) above occurred at the time at which the
Original Notice was electronically filed with the Court. I have based this belief on the fact that these
issues do not appear in the unsealed copy of the Original Notice which was contained in a Dropbox
folder that I emailed to Mr Danny Eid, the solicitor for the Respondent, on 3 October 2023.
39. On 16 February 2024, I emailed Mr Eid a letter from Mr Michael Bradley which identified the issues
and typographical errors referred to paragraph 37 above, and enclosed an unsealed copy of the
Amended Notice, which rectifies the issues and typographical errors referred to in paragraph 37
above. A copy for Mr Bradleys letter to Mr Eid is annexed to this affidavit at pages 20-21 and
marked “AF-4.

Thank you for your request for copies. The total cost for digitizing these items will be $156

We expect that the scanning of these items should be completed by the end of the week.
The delay is due to a number of item being faxes on thermal paper. This can't be scanned

Dear Danny
Federal Court of Australia proceedings 372/2023 - Faruqi v Hanson
1. We refer to the Notice of intention to adduce tendency evidence, which was filed on behalf of
our client on 3 October 2023 (Notice).
2. Having conducted a further review of the Notice, we have identified that:
(a) many of the links contained in the sealed copy of the Notice do not work in that they
either cannot be clicked, or they redirect to incorrect webpages; and
(b) the annexure markings on pages 50 to 263 of the sealed copy of the Notice have been
removed.
3. We suspect that these issues occurred at the time at which we electronically filed the Notice
with the Court, as they do not appear in the unsealed copy of the Notice that was served on
your client on 3 October 2023. In any event, we apologise for any inconvenience that these
issues may have caused in respect of the sealed copy.
4. In addition to the matters outlined above, we have identified some minor typographical errors in
the descriptions of the statements and particulars which are referred to in the table included at
pages 2-49 of the Notice. These typographical errors are administrative in nature, and largely
relate to the dates.
5. In light of the matters outlined above, and in the interest of assisting both your client and the
Court in navigating the Notice, we have enclosed with this letter an amended copy of the Notice
20
Annexure AF-4

which rectifies the issues identified in this letter, and amends the typographical errors (in
underline/strike through). We confirm that no substantive changes have been made to this
document.
6. We intend to file the amended copy of the Notice with the Court, and confirm that we will provide
a sealed copy upon receipt from the Registry.
7. If you have any questions in relation to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely
Michael Bradley
Managing Partner
