Politician Found Guilty of Racial Discrimination After Telling Ungrateful Non-Native Lawmaker to Go Home (Which Isn't a Race)

Fun fact for the day that most of us in America don’t realize: In Australia, the nominal head of state is the monarch of the United Kingdom.

Unlike us tea-tossing Americans, who told the crown where they could stick it a full two centuries before the Sex Pistols made it cool, Aussies are still technically a monarchy. This seems slightly lame for an island settled by a bunch of criminals, but now that we view the British throne as a benign instrument of reminding the Anglosphere of its shared cultural history, some respect is due in countries where the Windsors are recognized as technical heads of state.

When Queen Elizabeth II died in 2022, Australian politician Mehreen Faruqi, who was born in Pakistan, ruffled some feathers when she said on social media that she “cannot mourn the leader of a racist empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonized people.” Another Australian politician, Pauline Hanson, told her she could “pack your bags and p*** off back to Pakistan.”

Guess who got convicted of racial discrimination?

You’re probably not surprised, even though “Pakistani” isn’t a race. You also won’t be surprised that her conviction was recently upheld.

Australian populist leader Pauline Hanson racially discriminated against a Muslim senator in a 2022 tweet by telling her to return to Pakistan, a court has said, upholding an earlier ruling.
