The Australian Human Rights Commission has accepted Mehreen Faruqi’s complaint against Pauline Hanson over alleged racial discrimination and racial hatred for her incendiary “piss off back to Pakistan” tweet, with the commission to consider the issue in light of section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.

Greens senator Faruqi said she hoped to extract an apology “at the very least” from the One Nation founder, speaking of the “immense toll” of racism on health and wellbeing.
