Australian Senator Pauline Hanson was found guilty of racial discrimination for a tweet targeting Senator Mehreen Faruqi.

Australian Senator Pauline Hanson has been found guilty of racial discrimination for a tweet telling Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi to "piss off back to Pakistan." The Federal Court deemed the remark as "strong racism" and "seriously offensive." Justice Angus Stewart ordered Hanson to delete the tweet within seven days and cover Faruqi's legal costs. Hanson plans to appeal the decision, which the judge said violated the Racial Discrimination Act.
