What we can confirm

Multiple reputable reports and the published judgment show that the Federal Court of Australia (Full Court) dismissed Pauline Hanson’s appeal and thereby upheld an earlier 2024 Federal Court ruling that her tweet telling Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi to "piss off back to Pakistan" breached the Racial Discrimination Act by amounting to unlawful racial discrimination/vilification under s 18C, directed at Faruqi because of her race, colour or national or ethnic origin.[1][2][6][8]
