Liberal Senators Cross Floor to Censure Hanson

Two Liberal senators crossed the floor to support Labor's motion censuring One Nation leader for comments vilifying Muslim Australians.

Two Liberal senators broke party ranks to vote alongside Labor in a motion that censured One Nation leader Pauline Hanson for "inflammatory and divisive comments" that sought to vilify Muslim Australians.

The unusual display of cross-party agreement came after Hanson made controversial remarks about Muslim Australians, with Labor describing her statements as deliberately divisive and harmful to community cohesion.
