The ultra-right Australian politician came to the Senate in a burqa to protest

The Australian senator, the leader of the ultra-right party "One Nation" Pauline Hanson on Thursday, August 17, came to the workplace in the burka. The politician decided to wear a women's outfit hiding the whole body as part of a campaign to ban such clothes for Muslim women.


The act caused criticism from the government and Muslims. About 20 minutes, Hanson sat in her seat in the Senate, covered with a log, informs Reuters. Then the senator took off this garment, urging to ban his public wearing for reasons of national security. "I am quite happy that I withdrew this from myself, because this is not something that could be relevant in this parliament," the ultra-right politician said to her colleagues.

 "If a person in a balaclava or a helmet enters a bank or another building, or even a court session, he must be withdrawn from there." Why does the same not apply to those who hide their face and can not be identified? " - Asked the leader of "One Nation".
