Something many people have long suspected was confirmed today in the Federal Court by Justice Angus Stewart, Pauline Hanson, the leader of the One Nation political party is a racists. In a charge of racism brought by Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi against the One Nation leader Justice Stewart found Hanson guilty as charged. Judge Stewart rejected Hanson's defence, and said her tweet directed at the Greens Senator was an "angry personal attack" and "anti-Muslim or Islamophobic" with no discernible comment linked to the issues Senator Faruqi had raised. Hanson and her racism appeals to a small section of the electorate, but fortunately the majority of Australians reject One Nation, and their hateful philosophy.

Dear Paul,

We all know the racist things that Pauline Hanson has said in
the past. However in this particular case - I'm a bit
uneasy with the behaviour not only of Pauline Hanson
but of Mehreen Faruqi as well. Faruqi is also known for her
outspoken and controversial behaviour in the past.

Faruqi posted
on the day of Queen Elizabeth's II's death in Sept. 2022
saying that she could not mourn "the leader of a racist
empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of coloured
people".

Faruqi must have known this statement would offend and that
she would provoke a response.

Still, the federal court judge ruled in Faruqi's favour
against Hanson.

Personally,
I think both are equally guilty. One for provoking. The
other for responding. Both should be equally liable.

Both could have been asked to make a donation to charity.

Hi Foxy,

It was not a crime not to express remorse at the death of Elizabeth Windsor in 2022. I was rather unfazed by the woman's demise myself, she had lived a long life to the ripe old age of 96, and pass away peacefully, as I understand it, along with an average 150,000 others that day in the world, most not so fortunate to have such a peaceful ending. The judge was correct in finding Hanson is a racists who had broken the law.

I long for the days when we aspired to have freedom of speech in this country.

When did 'muslim' become a race?

mhaze,

We have freedom of speech in this country, what we don't have is freedom of vilification, like the Hanson way!

See in the world of The Trumpster, the American territory of Puerto Rico is considered "floating garbage". What do you think, should those brown fellas, thats's the Latino people of US, should they vote for a bloke who thinks they are nothing more than "floating garbage"? Me thinks not. Latest polls of those who have already voted puts Harris well ahead in those swing states, all except Nevada. You might have to dust off your buffalo horn outfit and slap on the old red white and blue face paint come Jan 6th 2025. Donald could be calling again!
