An Australian senator who is campaigning for a national burqa ban was barred on Tuesday from Parliament for the rest of the year for wearing the Muslim garment in the chamber.

Pauline Hanson, 71, leader of the One Nation party, was accused of performing a disrespectful stunt on Monday when she walked into the Senate in a head-to-ankle garment to protest fellow senators’ refusal to consider her bill that would ban the burqa and other full-face coverings in public.
