Hansard of the Australian Senate · Parliament of Australia
For “Censured by the Senate” 3 APR 2019 of William Fraser Anning
I, and also on behalf of the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, Senator Wong, move: That the Senate- ... (d) censures Senator Anning for his inflammatory and divisive comments seeking to attribute blame to victims of a horrific crime and to vilify people on the basis of religion, which do not reflect the opinions of the Australian Senate or the Australian people.
Verbatim Senate Hansard, read on the OpenAustralia mirror because parlinfo.aph.gov.au returned HTTP 403. Paragraphs (a) to (c) of the motion, omitted here at the ellipsis, note Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, call on Australians to stand against hate and endorse a statement of the Imam Hasan Centre; only paragraph (d) concerns Senator Anning. An em dash in the original is rendered as a hyphen. A censure is a formal act of the Senate and is recorded here as such, without characterisation.
