Pauline Hanson is expected to face a censure motion in the Senate on Monday, with Labor seeking to call out the One Nation leader\u2019s \u201cinflammatory and divisive\u201d recent comments about Australian Muslims.<\/p>\n
The Greens will support Labor\u2019s move, with the motion expected to pass, and condemn Hanson to a second censure within four months<\/a>.<\/p>\n Labor will move to censure Hanson over her comments to Sky News in February, where the One Nation<\/a> leader said: \u201cYou say, \u2018Well, there\u2019s good Muslims out there.\u2019 How can you tell me there are good Muslims?\u201d<\/p>\n Hanson refused to apologise for the comments and stood by them in subsequent interviews. But she later issued a partial apology, saying she was sorry if she \u201coffended anyone out there that doesn\u2019t believe in sharia law, or multiple marriages, or wants to bring Isis brides in, or people from Gaza that believe in a caliphate\u201d.<\/p>\n But she then went on to claim: \u201cIn general, that is what they want, a world caliphate. And I am not going to apologise.\u201d<\/p>\n Hanson\u2019s divisive comments were harshly criticised across the political spectrum<\/a>, including by Labor, the Greens, Nationals senator Matt Canavan and Australia\u2019s race discrimination commissioner. Federal police said they had received reports of a \u201ccrime\u201d <\/a>in relation to her comments but legal academics said it was unclear what law could have been breached<\/a>.<\/p>\n The rightwing populist One Nation is surging in opinion polls<\/a>, with 22% of respondents to the Guardian Essential poll <\/a>saying they would vote for Hanson\u2019s party, and nearly 60% saying they were at least open to voting for One Nation at the next federal election.<\/p>\n
