from other people on Twitter which reiterated the thoughts and views of Senator Hanson conveyed in the latter's tweet. Ms Hasan remembers thinking that by publishing the tweet, Senator Hanson had given a voice to many other people in Australia that share her views; it was as if Senator Hanson had magnified those racist views.
95 Ms Hasan said that she cried after reading Senator Hanson's tweet. The sadness subsequently turned into desperation and anger. She recalls thinking that if someone like Senator Faruqi, an elected politician, is unable to escape racism and discrimination in Australia, then there is nothing that Ms Hasan will ever be able to do to reduce or stop racist incidents against herself.

He understood the tweet to mean that non-white immigrants to Australia, including Senator Faruqi, are inferior to and should be fearful of "white" Australians; that they are less deserving of occupying space within Australia because they were not born here.
100 Mr Moolla said that the tweet made him feel that as a non-white immigrant to Australia, his identity as an Australian will always be under threat even though he is an Australian citizen. He felt that his "Australian-ness" and his place within Australia will never be whole and could be
