Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and all major political parties on Wednesday condemned a speech by a minor senator who used the term "final solution" in calling for a revival of a "White Australia" restrictive immigration policy.

An Australian senator provoked an angry backlash from lawmakers by wearing a burka in Parliament on Thursday as part of her campaign for a national ban on Islamic face covers.

Pauline Hanson, founder of Australia's far right One Nation party, warned voters on Wednesday that the country is in danger of "being swamped by Muslims" in her first speech in parliament.
