‘Soaring in the polls’: Hanson’s burqa act was ‘justified’ after bill was ‘denied’ for debate

Sky News host Rowan Dean defends One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson’s burqa stunt because she has been “shut down” and “denied” the opportunity to debate the wearing of the burqa for Muslim women.

“There was a veritable conga line of cowards this week lining up to condemn Pauline Hanson's burqa stunt this week in parliament. I say cowards because not only were they not prepared to hold a debate in parliament about banning the burqa, but they roundly turned on and condemned the one politician who was brave enough to propose the debate,” Mr Dean said.

“The stunt came after that denial, not before. At that point, it went from being a stunt to a legitimate form of protest, no different, whether one likes it or not.

“Pauline's protest was entirely justified. And I have no doubt that not only will it attract even more support to her party, but also the vehement reaction by Coalition politicians against it will drive even more conservatives away from the Liberal Party. “
