Far-right senator to be censured: Morrison

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced the government will censure Queensland senator Fraser Anning over his comments about the mosque shootings in New Zealand.

Mr Morrison said there had been discussions between Senators Mathias Cormann and Penny Wong about a bipartisan motion when Parliament returns in April.

"These comments are appalling and they're ugly and they have no place in Australia. In the Australian Parliament also. And he should be, frankly, ashamed of himself" he said.
