It was a moment that stopped Australian politics in its tracks. On Tuesday, Senator Pauline Hanson-leader of the far-right One Nation party-walked into the Senate wearing a full-face burqa, triggering a political storm. The stunt was her latest move in the long-running campaign to ban the burqa in public places, but this time, it would go much further than just words. <br /> <br />For decades, Hanson has been one of Australia’s most controversial political figures. Known for her outspoken, often inflammatory views on immigration and multiculturalism, she first made national headlines in the 1990s when she warned that Australia was being “swamped by Asians.” Since then, she has consistently raised eyebrows with her criticism of Islamic practices, particularly the burqa, which she has called a symbol of oppression and a threat to national security. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />#paulinehansonburqa #paulinehansonbanburqa #paulinehansonburqastunt #paulinehansonburqasenate #paulinehansonwearsburqa #paulinehansonwearsaburqa #paulinehansonburqaparliament #paulinehansonburka #paulinehansonburqastunt #paulinehansonwearsburqainsenate #senatorpaulinehansonwearsaburqa #paulinehansonwearsburqainparliament #paulinehansonburkasenate #paulinehansonbantheburka #paulinehansonnews<br /><br />~HT.178~PR.152~
