Pauline Hanson’s defiant tweet telling Senator Mehreen Faruqi to “piss off back to Pakistan” has been legally confirmed as racist — and she’s lost her appeal. The Federal Court upheld the original ruling, calling the post a clear example of racist tropes and anti-Muslim sentiment, rejecting Hanson’s claim it was a legitimate opinion. The judge emphasized it was an angry, degrading attack that targeted Faruqi’s heritage, not free speech. Hanson must now delete the tweet and pay Faruqi’s legal fees — a stark reminder that online bigotry carries real consequences.
