Australian senator was kicked out of a meeting because of a burqa (3 photos + 1 video)
Pauline Hanson, leader of Australia's conservative One Nation Party, wore a veil to promote legislation banning full-face veils, but was accused of disrespecting Muslims. 
In Australia, Senator Pauline Hanson was asked to leave the upper house after attending a meeting wearing a burqa, a full-face veil, Guardian Australia reports. 
Hanson, leader of the conservative One Nation Party, sought to draw attention to her bill banning Muslim attire in public places, citing national security concerns. However, her actions provoked a backlash from colleagues, and after refusing to remove her burqa, the senator was removed from the chamber, and the session was suspended for more than an hour and a half.
Representatives of other parties condemned Hanson's actions as an insult to Muslim religious sentiments and disrespect for Parliament. Independent Senator Fatima Peyman, the first Australian woman to wear a hijab in Parliament, described the action as disgusting and unacceptable. A similar incident occurred in 2017, after which the Senate passed a resolution banning the use of religious attire as props for political provocation. A vote of no confidence against Hanson is currently being considered.

After the incident, Hanson herself called her colleagues hypocrites on social media, emphasizing that she wore a burqa precisely because her bill was blocked. This incident has once again sparked debate about attitudes toward religious symbols and religious freedom in Australian society.
