Quick Summary

Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation party, has been granted leave by the High Court to challenge racial discrimination laws following a social media dispute with Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi in 2022. The disagreement arose after Faruqi commented on Queen Elizabeth II's death, leading Hanson to make disparaging remarks about Faruqi’s immigration status and urging her to return to Pakistan. This appeal sets the stage for a constitutional debate over the validity of certain provisions within Australia’s Racial Discrimination Act.

Story summary

The High Court of Australia has granted Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation party, special leave to appeal a 2024 ruling that found her tweet directed at Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi was racist hate speech. The exchange began in 2022 after Faruqi commented on social media about not mourning Queen Elizabeth II as "the leader of a racist empire." Hanson responded with the now-infamous tweet telling Faruqi to “piss off back to Pakistan.” This case is expected to challenge the constitutionality of Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, which prohibits racial discrimination and vilification. The High Court will determine whether these laws unduly restrict Australia's implied freedom of political communication.
