In a social media post just hours after Her Majesty's death was announced, Ms Faruqi said she can’t “mourn the leader of a racist empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonised peoples”.


The Senator's tweet prompted outrage given how soon it was published after Her Majesty's death.
Speaking to SkyNews.com.au, the Institute of Public Affairs’ Gideon Rozner said the "unhinged" rant was embarrassing for an Australian Senator.
“Mehreen Faruqi, Adam Bandt and the Greens should give it a rest. Just take the day off,” he said.


“Mehreen Faruqi’s unhinged and pig-ignorant contributions would be embarrassing for a second-year arts student, let alone a federal senator.
