Former One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's Queensland home remains on the market, but not for everyone.
Muslim buyers, for example, aren't welcome.
Ms Hanson, who has put up for sale her million-dollar property in Coleyville, southwest of Brisbane, announced she was moving to Britain earlier this year.
Her hardline views on race sparked a national debate over immigration policy and Aboriginal disadvantage from the time she entered parliament in 1996 at the same election that made John Howard prime minister.
While taking the Seven Network's Sunrise program on a recent tour of her home, she said she would not allow certain members of the Australian community to purchase the property.
Asked if Asians were welcome to express interest in the property, Ms Hanson said she would not sell the home to an Asian who lived overseas.
But she had no problem with selling the property to "an Australian who is of Asian background".
"No problems whatsoever," she said.
Asked if she would be prepared to sell the property to a Muslim, she said no.
"Because I don't believe that they are compatible with our way of life, our culture.
"And I think we are going to have problems with them in this country further down the track, so I have no intention of selling my home to a Muslim."

It's a shame that Pauline feels she's at the end of her rope completely in that she must move overseas. Still, I hope she gets the sort of buyer she wants.
