An Australian senator, Pauline Hanson, sparked controversy by wearing a burka in parliament while advocating for a ban on full face coverings, a policy she has long supported. Fellow senators condemned her actions as racist, leading to a suspension motion. Hanson, from the anti-immigration One Nation party, defended her stunt as a protest against the rejection of her bill. This marks her second incident of wearing a burka in parliament, following a similar act in 2017.
