One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson has been lambasted by politicians across the political sphere after she controversially donned a burqa in parliament.

Hanson was suspended from the Senate and sanctioned on Nov. 24 for the stunt after her Senate colleagues blocked her attempt to put forth a bill to ban face coverings in Australia.
