Liberal senator Jim Molan defends sharing anti-Islam videos

Just a day after entering federal Parliament, Liberal senator Jim Molan has defended sharing inflammatory anti-Muslim videos from a UK fringe group, insisting he is not a racist .

Elected to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of former Nationals deputy leader Fiona Nash over her dual citizenship, the retired army major-general said he shared online content from Britain First - the same group US President Donald Trump was condemned for promoting - in order to generate discussion about violence and anti-social behaviour.
