Fatima Payman slammed for ‘absolutely despicable’ comments to Pauline Hanson

Sky News host Rita Panahi has slammed Senator Fatima Payman for her “absolutely despicable” comments towards One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson. Ms Payman branded Senator Pauline Hanson a racist after the One Nation leader moved to have the former Labor senator referred to an inquiry so that the Senate could probe as to whether she has met the threshold of trying to prove that she is not a dual citizen. “The comments she made towards Senator Hanson were absolutely despicable, beneath content, and she gets away with it,” Ms Panahi said. “Wearing a hijab should not give you a pass for behaving that way in parliament.”
