Pauline Hanson's legal team tenders a video of her telling Derryn Hinch to leave Australia in her defence against allegations of racial discrimination against senator Mehreen Faruqi.
Pauline Hanson 's legal team tenders video of her telling white senator to 'go back to New Zealand' in discrimination defenceThe Federal Court is played a video of Pauline Hanson telling Derryn Hinch to "go aback to New Zealand".Senator Faruqi is seeking court orders requiring Senator Hanson to delete the tweet amd make a $150,000 donation to charity.
In closing submissions on Wednesday, Senator Faruqi's barrister Saul Holt KC argued Senator Hanson's tweet was "a message of exclusion" that was "plainly targeted a brown, Muslim migrant senator". In the clip Senator Hanson told Mr Hinch to "go back to New Zealand" and to "go and pack your bags and get on the next plane out of the country, that's where you belong".
"The notion that she did not know that the first female Muslim senator in the Australian parliament Mehreen Farqui is a Muslim is just one that beggars belief." Mr Holt also argued that the tweet from Senator Hanson unleashed a "sickening torrent" of abuse against Senator Faruqi, far greater than the initial controversy that had been stirred by her tweet on the Queen.
