Australia’s Senate has suspended far-right Senator Pauline Hanson for seven sitting days after she entered Parliament wearing a burqa as part of her campaign to ban the Muslim garment in public. The move triggered immediate condemnation from lawmakers, including accusations of racism from Muslim MPs.
Hanson attempted to introduce legislation banning burqas and face coverings but was denied permission, prompting her controversial action. The Senate passed a censure motion against her in a 55–5 vote.
