Pauline Hanson clashes with Sunrise host over 'complicity' in Christchurch massacre

Channel Seven says it will continue to feature One Nation leader on the show because ‘we canvass both sides’

Channel Seven’s Sunrise program will continue to give Pauline Hanson a platform each week despite host David Koch’s fiery exchange with the One Nation leader about her vilification of Muslims.

“We never shy away from debates,” the executive producer, Michael Pell, told Guardian Australia. “We canvass both sides and the viewer is left to make up his or her own mind.”
