Pauline Hanson has lost her attempt to overturn a racial discrimination finding made against her after she told Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi to "piss off back to Pakistan" during a parliamentary exchange. The ruling upholds an earlier finding that the One Nation leader's remarks breached racial discrimination laws, reinforcing legal limits on the conduct of Australian politicians even in the context of political debate.

The case centred on comments Hanson made in response to Faruqi, a Pakistan-born senator, with a court or tribunal previously finding the remarks amounted to unlawful racial discrimination. Hanson's bid to have that finding reversed on appeal was unsuccessful, meaning the original ruling against her stands.
