Migrants would be free to speak their own languages at home but should be "Australians first", One Nation has declared, after the party's leader called for a monoculture.
A day after Pauline Hanson's first address to the National Press Club, One Nation MP David Farley said new arrivals needed to be Australians first and put their ethnicity or creed second.
"They can be an Australian migrant, or an Australian-Italian, Australian-Greek, or an Australian-African. They're not African-Australians, they're Australians first," he told ABC Radio on Thursday.
Mr Farley said he wasn't concerned about people speaking other languages at home, but argued that to assimilate into Australia, migrants needed to speak English.
"There'll be times when they're bringing family and friends into the country on holidays etcetera, where that is adaptable ... but the reality is we've adapted English as a language, that's the Australian language," he said.
