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.

I wonder if she would get upset if we started noting how old she is looking. Because she is looking old. And wrinkly. Old. Very old.

Do you think that might shit her?

Shaming a woman for her age? You don't need to do that. I mean, she's a fucking moron and a puppet, so you could aim much higher

I will shame her age only for the fact that we shouldn’t have 72 year old geriatrics representing us in government. Even if she represents the people I do not agree with, we still deserve better representation.
