Clarification - Pauline Hanson

On 28 November 2024, TODAY broadcast an interview with Senator Lidia Thorpe about her interaction with Senator Pauline Hanson the previous day in the Senate.

TODAY wishes to clarify that Senator Hanson has not been criminally convicted of racism, and any suggestion to the contrary is unequivocally withdrawn.

A judge of the Federal Court of Australia found that to the civil standard of proof, Senator Hanson had engaged in conduct in contravention of the Racial Discrimination Act. That finding is currently the subject of an appeal by Senator Hanson.
