Australian politician fails to overturn racial vilification ruling over telling Muslim senator to go back to Pakistan
A far-right Australian politician failed to overturn a court ruling that found her comments directing a Muslim senator to return to Pakistan constituted racial vilification. The Federal Court of Australia dismissed her appeal, reaffirming that her social media post breached racial discrimination laws by likely offending and humiliating the senator and other migrants.
