Far-right Australian senator wears burqa in parliament
November 25, 2025
|The Independent
Australia’s Senate was suspended for more than an hour yesterday after a far-right senator entered the chamber wearing a burqa, sparking widespread outrage.
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, who has long campaigned for a national ban on burqas, was barred from the chamber for the rest of the day after she repeatedly refused to take off the face covering.
All parties in the Senate condemned Ms Hanson's action, reminiscent of a similar stunt carried out in 2017 when she caused a procedural dispute that delayed the final sitting week of the year, ABC News reported.
Senate president Sue Lines ordered her to leave, but Ms Hanson refused, prompting Ms Lines to suspend proceedings, a measure that has been used only rarely. The chamber reconvened at about 5.50pm without Ms Hanson present.
