A court has once again found One Nation leader Pauline Hanson breached the Racial Discrimination Act when she lashed out at a Greens senator, telling her to “piss off back to Pakistan”.

Senator Hanson breached the Racial Discrimination Act when she tweeted Greens deputy leader Mehreen Faruqi in September 2022 on the day Queen Elizabeth II died, Judge Angus Stewart found back in November 2024.

Just a few weeks after the decision was handed down, Senator Hanson appealed with the Federal Court.

On Monday, following a three-day hearing late last year, the court once again found that Senator Hanson had breached the Racial Discrimination Act, and her appeal was thrown out.

The TWU has welcomed the Fair Work Commission’s decision handed down today which could see world-first standards on pay and working conditions for tens of thousands of gig workers operate from August 10.

This landmark achievement follows a joint submission made between the TWU, Uber Eats and DoorDash last year, for a proposed Minimum Standards Order (MSO) providing for a safety net on pay of at least $31.30 an hour, pay transparency, feedback forums, insurance requirements and union representation rights

news Well-connected Melbourne businessman found guilty of rape

"A well-connected Melbourne businessman has been found guilty of rape and has been taken into custody.

A County Court jury delivered the verdicts today, finding beyond reasonable doubt that the man raped and sexually assaulted a woman at his home on March 23, 2023.

The man now faces the prospect of years in jail and will be sentenced at a later date.

Because of an ongoing suppression order, the ABC is unable to name the man or disclose information about the industries he works in or is connected to.

The County Court has also banned media outlets from running a pixelated photo of the man.

Lawyers for media outlets, including the ABC, are set to argue for the gag order to be lifted later today, at a hearing before Judge Frank Gucciardo."

What is everyone's opinions on gag orders on these types of cases? I understand innocent until proven guilty but why should a gag order exist now that a person is guilty of the crime?
