ATTORNEY-GENERAL George Brandis launched a withering and emotional condemnation of Pauline Hanson's decision to wear a burqua to Question Time.
Senator Brandis described Ms Hanson's move to wear the Muslim garment to the Senate and then remove it as "appalling".
"Senator Hanson, no, we will not be banning the burqa," Brandis said.
"I am not going to pretend to ignore the stunt that you have tried to pull today by arriving in the Chamber dressed in a burqa when we all know that you are not an adherent of the Islamic faith.
"I would caution and counsel you with respect to be very, very careful of the offence you may do to the religious sensibilities of other Australians."
"We have about 500,000 Australians in this country of the Islamic faith and the vast majority of them are law abiding good Australians.

That's 500,000 too many muslims in Australia.
