Lidia Thorpe has erupted in anger after the Senate censured the rogue senator over her headline-grabbing protest during King Charles’ visit to Australia.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong moved a censure motion against Ms Thorpe in the Senate on Monday morning.
The motion ‘censures Senator Thorpe for the disruptive and disrespectful conduct at the Parliamentary Reception, for her disrespect of democratic institutions, including our parliament of which she is a member’.
The independent Senator was not in the chamber to hear the motion carried but she returned to yell ‘shame on you!’ repeatedly at her fellow parliamentarians.
‘Order! Order! Order!’, responded the speaker Sue Lines.
‘Sentaro Thorpe, you are out of order! Senator Thorpe, come to order!’
But the Ms Thorpe continued her tirade.
‘Shame on you all!’, she screamed.

She added: ‘I’ll do it again, and I’ll do it every time!’
A censure motion has no direct legal or constitutional consequences and is just a way of parliament expressing extreme disapproval.
This is a breaking story, more to come.
