‘He [Senator Anning] blamed the horrific act of terror not on the extremist right-wing terrorist but on the victims of his evil acts.’ The Queensland senator has been unrepentant about expressing his extreme views. In response, the Senate has been debating a motion to censure him. Senator Wong said, ‘this is not about the contest of ideas, this is about democratic principals. We can’t normalise hate speech through a contest of better ideas’
