A Cartesian second-rank tensor invariant under half-turns about all three coordinate axes is diagonal. Each half-turn has diagonal signs, and each off-diagonal entry changes sign under at least one of them. Invariance therefore kills all off-diagonal entries. It does not make the diagonal entries equal: that requires additional rotational invariance, as for an isotropic second-rank tensor.
