澳大利亚联邦警察（AFP）已完成调查，认定One Nation党领袖Pauline Hanson关于穆斯林的争议性言论不符合仇恨言论法的违法门槛[1]。Hanson在2月接受Sky News采访时表示"你怎么能告诉我有好穆斯林？"，该言论随即引发广泛争议[1]。AFP确定这些评论"不符合相关犯罪的门槛，包括在《2026年打击反犹太主义、仇恨和极端主义法案》中"[1]。
尽管警方未认定违法，但该言论在政治和宗教层面遭到强烈反对[1]。澳大利亚种族歧视专员Giridharan Sivaraman曾在2月谴责这些言论具有伊斯兰恐惧症性质[1]。参议院以36票对17票通过谴责动议，获得工党、绿党、两名自由党参议员和跨党派议员支持[1]。Hanson随后进行了部分道歉，但其法律问题仍未完全解决——她在一场针对绿党参议员Mehreen Faruqi的种族歧视诉讼中败诉，目前正考虑上诉至高等法院[1]。
Australia's Federal Police has closed its investigation into One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's controversial remarks about Muslims, determining that her statements do not breach hate speech legislation.[1] During a February interview on Sky News, Hanson asked "how can you tell me there are good Muslims?"[1] The AFP found that these comments "did not meet the threshold of the relevant offences, including those within" applicable law.[1]
The remarks sparked significant political and community backlash. The Senate passed a censure motion against Hanson by a vote of 36 to 17, supported by the Labor Party, the Greens, two Liberal Party senators, and cross-party members.[1] Australia's Race Discrimination Commissioner Giridharan Sivaraman condemned the statements as Islamophobic in February.[1] Hanson subsequently issued a partial apology in response to the controversy.[1]
In related legal developments, Hanson faced an unsuccessful court challenge after a judge ruled against her discrimination claim involving Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi, and she is considering an appeal to the High Court.[1]
