Australian Senator Pauline Hanson, leader of the anti-Muslim minority party One Nation, has been suspended from Parliament for the rest of the year after wearing a burqa in the Senate as a protest against her colleagues' refusal to consider a bill that would ban the burqa and other facial coverings in public places. Hanson was accused of a provocative gesture and, in the absence of an apology, received a severe penalty, being banned from Senate meetings for seven consecutive days.

Hanson stated that she will be judged by voters in the next elections in 2028, emphasizing that there is no dress code in Parliament. The government leader in the Senate, Penny Wong, criticized Hanson's actions, stating that she mocked an entire faith, having a negative impact on Australian society. Muslim senators Mehreen Faruqi and Fatima Payman also condemned Hanson's behavior, considering it a manifestation of structural racism. Hanson is contesting a previous court decision that found she violated racial anti-discrimination law.
