Australian far-right Senator Pauline Hanson wore a burqa to the Australian Parliament on Monday, sparking accusations of racism from Muslim senators. Hanson wore the burqa after she was denied permission to introduce a bill that would outlaw burqas and other full-face coverings in public places in Australia. Parliament proceedings were suspended when Hanson refused to remove the burqa.
