"It's Disturbing" Senator Fatima Payman On Hanson's Burqa Stunt 2.0 - The Quicky
Description
Senator Fatima Payman remembers the first time Pauline Hanson pulled her burqa stunt in 2017. She was visiting her Dad in hospital and was told to 'piss off back where she came from'.
She tells us how stunts like we saw this week in the senate, have real world implications how there needs to be more accountability in politics and the importance of supporting marginalised communities, particularly in the face of rising Islamophobia.
But while she's dealing with the fallout from Hanson's burqa stunt 2.0, she also loves how the Australian community has rallied around her in support, the ultimate in 'mateship.'
And in headlines today, A luxury wilderness resort that took a direct hit from tropical cyclone Fina has been partially destroyed, but two caretakers sheltering in an underground bunker escaped unharmed; The coroner has heard how a young, inexperienced ground crew member gave the thumbs up for takeoff less than a minute before a 2023 fatal mid air helicopter collision; French police have arrested four more people in connection to the Louvre jewel heist last month; Just weeks after denying rumours that she had died, Hollywood royalty Bridgette Bardot has been rushed to hospital in France
