Muslim One Nation candidate reveals she STILL 'respects' Sharia law but says it will never happen in Australia

  • Muslim One Nation candidate Emma Eros says she 'respects' Sharia Law
  • Ms Eros, a plumber, is running for the seat of Hornsby on behalf of One Nation
  • She said the party did not want to 'ban' Muslim people from coming to Australia
  • But One Nation's official policy is to enact a travel ban 'similar to Trump's' 

Muslim One Nation candidate Emma Eros has said she 'respects Sharia law', but says it could never work in Australia. 

Ms Eros, a plumber running for the seat of Hornsby in Sydney's north shore in the upcoming state election, told the panel on Outsiders she respected the laws of other countries, and simply wanted to see that attitude reciprocated.  

'Sharia law is a very complex issue,' she said. 

'I respect what other countries want to have as a law in their country. As far as I’m concerned we don’t have Sharia law in this country, not now not ever.

'I respect what you have over there I expect the same when you come over here.'

Ms Eros has long been outspoken about her faith, and made headlines in 2017 for questioning right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos on his beliefs about Islam. 

She says she has been attacked by more conservative Muslim people for her decision to run as a candidate for One Nation - a party that wants to see surveillance cameras in every mosque and decline Muslim politicians the right to be sworn in under the Quran.

Ms Eros says she is not bothered by the criticism, and believes she is doing the right thing for her country by aligning herself with Pauline Hanson.  

'We can’t win them all, part of the reason I am speaking out is because of extremist thinkers out there,' she said. 

'They don’t represent people like myself. They can attack all they like sticks and stones as far as I’m concerned. 

Ms Eros says she also believes in banning the Burqa, and said it should be treated the same as a balaclava or a helmet would

'This is Australia, this is my country and I absolutely love it and I want to protect it.'

Ms Eros told the Outsiders panel Ms Hanson is 'one of the most amazing women she has ever spoken to'.

'She absolutely loves this country and I think people have a different understanding of what she represents and they forget that she is representing the people of Australia,' she said. 

While Ms Eros and Ms Hanson may have some issues to work out regarding the Queenslander's policies on Islam in Australia, they do agree on one thing. 

Ms Eros said she firmly believes in banning the burqa, claiming the headscarf has 'no place in Australia'. 

'You have to take a helmet and balaclavas why isn’t it the same,' she asked.  

She said the right-wing party did not want to 'ban' Muslim people from entering Australia despite One Nation's official policy being to impose an America-style travel ban.

The Trump administration banned immigrants from entering the US from countries that are 'known sources of radicalism'. 

'One Nation isn’t saying ban Muslim people. It doesn’t want trouble makers… like in Melbourne with the African crime gangs,' she said. 

'We don’t have successful integration, it isn’t working. 

'It's not like the migration in the 1960s when people worked with their blood sweat and tears. 

'They are not coming here and doing that, and unfortunately the taxpayer is paying for all this.' 

Ms Eros said migration no longer worked in Australia, because migrants were not integrating
