High Court to hear Pauline Hanson challenge to racial discrimination laws
The High Court has granted One Nation leader Pauline Hanson special leave to appeal against court findings that she racially vilified Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi by telling her to pack her bags and go back to Pakistan. Hanson's appeal challenges the constitutional validity of section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act under the external affairs power and the implied freedom of political communication, with proceedings anticipated for early 2027. Also in this briefing: five charged in an alleged $235 million Commonwealth fraud operation targeting the NDIS; Australian shares drop following a Wall Street tech sell-off and domestic corporate restructuring; and Diwali celebrations expand into major cultural institutions with landmark exhibitions.
