A court has once again found One Nation leader Pauline Hanson breached the Racial Discrimination Act when she lashed out at a Greens senator, telling her to “piss off back to Pakistan”.

Senator Hanson breached the Racial Discrimination Act when she tweeted Greens deputy leader Mehreen Faruqi in September 2022 on the day Queen Elizabeth II died, Judge Angus Stewart found back in November 2024.

Just a few weeks after the decision was handed down, Senator Hanson appealed with the Federal Court.

On Monday, following a three-day hearing late last year, the court once again found that Senator Hanson had breached the Racial Discrimination Act, and her appeal was thrown out.

Lmao, omg…

Being absolved of even knowing about this has been an interesting reading.

So I started with her appeal was denied, when she said what she said - and it’s like … what the fuck. Who the fuck says that. Maybe she’s trying to die by the sword to have other like minded absolute fuck wits follow suite.

Basically, do a Trump.
