Fellow crossbench Senator Ralph Babet will also be formally condemned over his racist and homophobic posts on X.
Independent senator Lidia Thorpe is facing a censure motion after her protest at a ceremony for King Charles III on October 21 during the royal Australian tour.
“This motion shows where the major parties priorities lie. They don’t stand with First Peoples in this country. They stand against justice for our people, preferring instead to defend a foreign king, rather than listen to the truth,” she said in a statement. The crossbench senator, elected at a cost to mining billionaire Clive Palmer of $116 million, last week made the sexist, homophobic and ableist remarks on Elon Musk’s platform X, where right-wing influencers have celebrated the US election as normalising offensive speech.
“In my house we say phaggot , retard and n----r,” Babet wrote in the caption. “We are sick of you woke ass clowns. Cry more. Write an article. Tweet about me. No one cares what you think.”
