Federal police ‘received reports of a crime’ in relation to Pauline Hanson’s comments about Muslims
AI Summary
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) have received reports of a crime related to recent comments made by One Nation leader Pauline Hanson about Muslims. The comments, made during a media interview discussing the repatriation of Australian women and children from Syria, questioned the existence of "good Muslims." Bilal El-Hayek, the mayor of Canterbury Bankstown, where a significant portion of residents are Muslim, has called for charges against Hanson, citing hate speech laws. Following Hanson's remarks, one of Australia's largest mosques, located in Lakemba, received a threatening letter. While the AFP acknowledged the reports, they have not confirmed whether a criminal investigation has begun. Opposition leader Angus Taylor has distanced himself from Hanson's comments.
