Police consider investigation into divisive Pauline Hanson comments

One Nation senator Pauline Hanson has accused the government of trying to put her "back in jail" after police confirmed they are considering an investigation into the Senator over her inflammatory comments about Muslims during a media interview.

Senator Hanson was speaking on Sky News when she made the remarks, drawing widespread condemnation from politicians and community leaders.

She later offered a partial apology.

In a statement, the Australian Federal Police said it was aware of the comments and had received reports of a crime in relation to them.

In a post on social media, Senator Hanson said the government was trying to use its new hate speech laws, which were legislated in response to the Bondi terror attack, to put her "back in jail."

Stop gaslighting the Australian public," she wrote.

"If Australia doesn't speak up now - our nation will fall victim to the same issues being experienced across Europe, the UK, Canada and other western societies."

The AFP said further comment would be made "at an appropriate time".
