(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”.

(a) I conducted searches of the Facebook posts which have been published to the Hanson

referred to in paragraph 11(a)(ii) above.
