One Nation's Hanson appeals ruling over racially discriminatory post against Greens senator.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson is appealing a court ruling that found her post from September 2022 racially discriminatory towards Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi. Justice Angus Stewart ruled the post breached the Racial Discrimination Act, deeming it "seriously offensive" and intimidating. Hanson argues the ruling threatens freedom of speech and claims the court erred in admitting certain evidence. The appeal comes as Race Discrimination Commissioner Sivaraman released a report highlighting Australia's struggle with entrenched racism.
