Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has publicly backed Pauline Hanson's attempt to challenge a Federal Court judgment that found she racially vilified Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi.
Australian right-wing leader Pauline Hanson lost her appeal against a racial discrimination ruling for telling Muslim senator Mehreen Faruqi to 'go back to Pakistan'. The court upheld the original finding of racial vilification against Hanson, and Hanson is now considering an appeal to the Australian Supreme Court, citing freedom of political speech.
