Can a non-Aussie get some context?

    You're not allowed talking props in the senate

    Right wing female politician Pauline Hanson wears a burka for the second time, gets roasted by most other senators. She's calling for burkas and face coverings to be banned across the country

    She didn't even wear it correctly. The other photo I've seen of her this day has her stocking legs outside the costume:

    Frankly, everyone should have completely ignored her. As though what she was wearing was nothing was out of the ordinary. She does these stupid stunts for the reaction. And she got it. So, she'll do this again at some point for another reaction.

    I think that leg makes it more funny. The whole point is that muslim man shouldnt see that leg. I think this is hilarious. I dont get the logic in islam: why not men covers their eyes? Why woman has to go through this shit? And if they make a mistake then they pay with their lives. All human should be free from this madness.

    I've not been in Australia for some time. But I cannot express to the rest of the world enough how much Australians hate her. She's a running joke to the nation.

    Wearing a full burka there is as dangerous as wearing a top hat. People will look briefly, of course, but no one gives a shit. Some people will want to know how you're doing that with the heat, and friendly outgoing people may even straight up ask. But if a person gives you shit for it, watch every stranger around you decemd on that person like white blood cells protecting the nation's culture from a toxin.

    That country is a melting pot of so many nations and cultures and true Australian pride nurtures that identity.

    Pauline Hanson is as Australian as Marmite.

    This pic I got seeing Violent Soho really says it all.

    Some.people hate her but others vote for her. Nasty little old ladies who call themselves Christians and proud Australians sit in coffee shops saying "I'm not a racist but...that Pauline makes so much sense". They don't give a shit about anyone other than themselves. Nasty little people full of hate.

    Worse. She actually served prison time for election fraud, and yet somehow people still voted for her.

    Should that not prevent from running for something you have to be elected in???

    Not sure if it would have prevented her running for office again, but in any case the conviction was overturned on appeal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_Hanson#Fraud_conviction_and_reversal

    the picture is so funny because the lady behind her is wearing a Hijab. I agree though Hijab or hair covering is acceptable, but complete duvetyne coverall like that is rediculoiusly unsetteling
