Pauline Hanson brutally told a Greens senator to ‘p*** off back to Pakistan‘ after she called the Queen ‘a leader of a racist empire’ on the day of her death.
The one Nation leader took offence after Pakistani-born Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi tweeted that she would not mourn the passing of the Queen.
‘Condolences to those who knew the Queen. I cannot mourn the leader of a racist empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonised peoples,’ Ms Faruqi posted.
‘We are reminded of the urgency of Treaty with First Nations, justice & reparations for British colonies & becoming a republic.’

Last year Ms Faruqi slammed the British empire for ‘enslaving millions of black and brown people around the world’.
Ms Hanson, who once moved a motion in the Senate that it was ‘ok to be white’, fired back at the Greens politician by suggesting she get out of Australia and that she had taken advantage of everything the country had given her.
‘Your attitude appalls and disgusts me. When you immigrated to Australia you took every advantage of this country,’ Ms Hanson said.
‘You took citizenship, bought multiple homes, and a job in a parliament. It’s clear you’re not happy, so pack your bags and p*** off back to Pakistan.’

Many Twitter users backed the controversial politician’s move to call out the Greens senator.
‘Well said PH. If Australia is really that bad, piss off, nobody is forcing her to stay here. Why are greens soooooooo miserable,’ one user wrote.
‘I 100 agree with you Pauline I’ve seen what she and Bandt posted absolutely disgusting and appalling. I’m a very proud to be a kiwi but I immigrated to either NZ or Australia I would be very proud and proud of my citizenship I agree Pauline,’ commented another.
Greens leader Adam Bandt (pictured with wife Claudia) waited just five hours after The Queen’s death was announced to call for Australia to ‘move forward’ and become a republic
Ms Faruqi’s post was one of a number by Greens MPs using the Queen’s death to make political points, including Greens leader Adam Bandt who said it is time to move forward and become a republic only hours after news of the monarch’s death broke.
In a post to Twitter Mr Bandt said now it is time to form a treaty with First Nations people.
Mr Bandt is a staunch republican, who refuses to put the Australian flag with its Union Jack corner behind him at press conferences.
Liberal National MP for Townsville and former Army soldier Phillip Thompson slammed Mr Bandt over his controversial tweet
‘Given you hate our nation so profoundly, I would encourage you to take a hike out of Australia and don’t look back. I think the nation would join me in celebrating your departure,’ Liberal National MP Phillip Thompson responded to Greens leader Adam Bandt
Mr Bandt’s comments were met with a rebuke from Liberal MP for Townsville and former ADF soldier Phillip Thompson who labelled him ‘a clown of the highest order’.
‘You’re a clown of the highest order and a human of the lowest form,’ he wrote on Twitter.
‘Given you hate our nation so profoundly, I would encourage you to take a hike out of Australia and don’t look back. I think the nation would join me in celebrating your departure.’
Former deputy chief medical officer Dr Nick Coatsworth said Mr Bandt’s post showed why the Greens were a minor party.
‘Just quietly compare this with the statesmanlike words from Albanese and Dutton and reflect on why these guys are perpetually at 10 per cent. Have some respect, son,’ he said.
