@sbsnews_au: One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has forced the Senate to suspend after she reprised a burqa stunt from eight years ago. The Queensland senator was trying to table a motion to ban the burqa — a head-and-body covering predominantly worn by Muslim women in Afghanistan — on Monday afternoon, but the motion was not granted. Moments later, she returned to the Senate chamber to vote in a division, alongside Coalition and crossbench senators, wearing a black burqa, with her legs visible. Senators became outraged as Senate president in the chair, Slade Brockman, allowed the vote to proceed, with many using their minutes to call out the behaviour. Pauline Hanson criticised in Senate after wearing burqa again

I’m Muslim and I say the burqa should be banned. For security reasons and it is a cultural clothing that isn’t Islamic. No one out of Afghanistan wears it too.

Let’s be real. Wearing that has nothing to do with faith. It’s oppression.She’s making a stand. At least someone is.

Fascinating that it’s supposedly not ok to wear a burqa if you’re not a Muslim… So only Muslims are allowed it? That seems like discrimination…
