==Attitudes towards Aboriginal people==

Hancock is quoted as saying,<ref>{{cite book |url=https://epress.anu.edu.au/bwwp/mobile_devices/ch10.html#d0e8316 |author1=Coyne, Michael |author2=Edwards, Leigh |title=The Oz Factor: Who's Doing What in Australia |location=East Malvern |year=1990 |page=68 |doi=10.22459/BWWP.03.2004 |isbn=9780975122952 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
:"Mining in Australia occupies less than one-fifth of one percent of the total surface of our continent and yet it supports 14 million people. Nothing should be sacred from mining whether it's your ground, my ground, the blackfellow's ground or anybody else's. So the question of [[native title|Aboriginal land rights]] and things of this nature shouldn't exist."

In a 1984 television interview,<ref>[https://aso.gov.au/titles/documentaries/couldnt-be-fairer/clip2/ Couldn't Be Fairer (1984)]</ref> Hancock suggested forcing unemployed indigenous Australians − specifically "the ones that are no good to themselves and who can't accept things, the half-castes" − to collect their welfare cheques from a central location. "And when they had gravitated there, I would dope the water up so that they were sterile and would breed themselves out in the future, and that would solve the problem."
