Senator Fatima Payman remembers the first time Pauline Hanson pulled her burqa stunt in 2017. She was visiting her Dad in hospital and was told to 'piss off back where she came from'.

She tells us how stunts like we saw this week in the senate, have real world implications how there needs to be more accountability in politics and the importance of supporting marginalised communities, particularly in the face of rising Islamophobia.
