Outrage at burqa 'stunt' by far-right Australian senator

November 25, 2025

|

The Guardian

The far-right Australian politician Pauline Hanson has worn a burqa in the Senate, repeating a widely condemned stunt as she sought to ban the Muslim garment on national security grounds - despite being unable to name a single safety incident linked to it.

- Josh Butler

Australia's special envoy to combat Islamophobia, Aftab Malik, warned that the stunt could "deepen existing safety risks for Australian Muslim women who choose to wear the headscarf, the hijab, or the full face and body covering, the burqa".

Hanson, the One Nation party's leader, was ejected from the Senate yesterday, forcing the suspension of the chamber as she refused to take off the burqa, in violation of a parliamentary ruling.

She was condemned by all parties in the Senate for repeating the display, after she had previously worn a burqa in the chamber in August 2017. The National party senator Matt Canavan said Hanson's stunt "debased" the parliament and was "ridiculing" Muslim Australians.
