\u201cThe Senate has rightly forced Senator Hanson to withdraw her unacceptable racist comments and held her to account for once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis should send a strong message to Senator Hanson that she cannot continue to make this parliament an unsafe workplace for people like me day in, day out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSenator Hanson\u2019s racist bile is extremely damaging and also unleashes vile hate and abuse from bigots. It must be nipped in the bud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf Parliament is to be a safe workplace, then it needs to set a standard that any form of bigotry and racism are unacceptable. Racist hatred should never be tolerated in any workplace, let alone one that is supposed to lead the way in standards of behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
