Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi has told a court that One Nation leader Pauline Hanson levelled “the ultimate racist slur” by telling her to “piss off back to Pakistan” in a social media post.
“The racism that you’ve experienced … is far, far worse than the conduct that you complain about in relation to my client,” Hanson’s barrister, Sue Chrysanthou, SC, suggested. Faruqi rejected this. Hanson responded that Faruqi’s “attitude appalls and disgusts me”. “When you immigrated to Australia you took every advantage of this country ... It’s clear you’re not happy, so pack your bags and piss off back to Pakistan,” she said.
Holt said Hanson’s post was a version of the well-known anti-migrant phrase, “go back to where you came from”. Hanson had previously said Muslim immigration should be banned entirely, Holt said.
