Deputy Greens leader Mehreen Faruqi took One Nation leader Pauline Hanson to Federal Court claiming her tweet breached the Racial Discrimination Act.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson racially discriminated against Mehreen Faruqi through a tweet telling the fellow senator to "piss off back to Pakistan", according to a judge who's ordered Senator Hanson to delete the tweet.

The Deputy Greens leader took Senator Hanson to Federal Court claiming her tweet, posted in September 2022 on the day Queen Elizabeth II died, breached the Racial Discrimination Act. The tweet was in response to a post by Ms Faruqi, who commented that she couldn't mourn someone who she described as "the leader of a racist empire".
