Australian Senator Fraser Anning censured by his colleagues for seeking to blame the victims of last month's terrorist attack on two mosque shootings in New Zealand and vilify Muslims
An Australian senator was censured by his colleagues on Wednesday for seeking to blame the victims of last month's mosque shootings and vilify Muslims.
"Sen. Anning's comments were ugly and divisive. They were dangerous and unacceptable from anyone, let alone a member of this place," Government Senate Leader Mathias Cormann told the Senate. Hanson said while Anning's comments were "untimely and therefore deemed highly insensitive, he still maintains a right to his opinion."
"It might have only been an idiot with an egg this time, but there is a continuum that begins with this and ends with a fanatic with a gun or a bomb," Anning said.
