    Pauline Hanson's Fish Shop Now Belongs To Two Very Happy Asylum Seekers

    Sweet, delicious irony.

    Peter Drew, the artist behind the "Real Australians Say Welcome" campaign that has seen posters show up all over Australia, recently visited Pauline Hanson's old fish and chip shop.

    Pauline Hanson is one of the most notorious Australian politicians / cultural figures, famous for her conservative views on asylum seekers and race. Recently, she has linked Halal certification to terrorists and re-started her One Nation Party, using her platform to push for the abolition of multiculturalism.

    Hanson owned the Ipswich fish and chip shop in the late '80s and early '90s, but it has since been sold to a Vietnamese couple who came to Australia seeking Asylum 22 years ago.

    The photo, uploaded to Drew's Facebook, is one of his most successful to date - and he thinks he knows why.

    The "Real Australians Say Welcome" campaign is ongoing, and you can support it here.
