Banning the burqa will not solve issues for Queenslanders and is instead a diversionary tactic, Islamic Council of Queensland spokesman Ali Kadri says.

Senator Pauline Hanson this week said One Nation would move to prohibit burqas in government buildings if her party won the upcoming Queensland election.

It has been an ongoing issue for Ms Hanson, who morphed her 1996 rhetoric of Australia being "swamped by Asians" into being "swamped by Muslims" in 2016.

Ms Hanson floated the idea of a referendum on banning the burqa in 2015, saying she found it confronting and un-Australian.
