About this episode

Pauline Hanson discusses her burka protest and the implications of her actions in the Australian Senate.

Pauline Hanson, the Australian Senator who wore a burka in the chamber, has been suspended from her role for seven days. Ms Hanson, 71, wore the garb in the Senate on Monday as she campaigned to Introduce a Bill that would ban full face coverings in Australia. Her fellow Senators stopped her from formally introducing it - prompting her to storm back into Australia's upper chamber in the veiled clothing. Hosted on Acast.
