Global News”Blatant racism”: Australian senate suspended after far-right lawmaker wears burqa

Australian far-right senator Pauline Hanson sparked outrage after she wore a burqa to parliament on Monday.

Hanson wore the garment shortly after she was denied permission to introduce a bill that would outlaw burqas and other full-face coverings in public places in Australia.

The senate erupted in anger as she walked into the chamber wearing the burqa, and proceedings were suspended when Hanson refused orders to remove it after many called it out as a political prop.

“This is a racist senator, displaying blatant racism,” said Muslim, Mehreen Faruqi, a Greens senator from the state of New South Wales.
