| Description | Fringe senator Ralph Babet has pulled down a social media post spouting a string of racist and homophobic slurs after the Senate voted overwhelmingly to condemn his behaviour, claiming it could have been “taken out of context”.
The Senate issued a separate censure, which is a formal reprimand with no tangible consequences, to independent senator Lidia Thorpe on Monday for her Indigenous rights protest against King Charles III during his visit to parliament last month.
In a post on X this month, Babet, who represents mining magnate Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party, declared he would say “phaggot [sic], retard and n----r”.
“We are sick of you woke ass clowns,” Babet posted. “Cry more. Write an article. Tweet about me. No one cares what you think.” |
