I can agree Pauline Hanson is a problematic individual, but did they have to ban her from the Australian senate just for that one stunt with that burqa? I have more questions than we started out with. (www.msn.com)

Here is a copy of the censure motion (25 November 2025) which explains why they believe the censure was necessary. It's a short read, and explains that it wasn't just about the stunt:

Articles report the motion passed 55 votes to 5 (90%+) so it's fair to say this represents the parliament's standards.

Good addition. I've taken the screenshot because people need to read this. The video linked is fairly misleading due to its overblown language.
