The Senate has censured two of its own, Lidia Thorpe and Ralph Babet, both of whom were absent when the votes were taken because of problems with their flights to Canberra.
Thorpe, a crossbencher who defected from the Greens, was condemned for her disruption of the parliamentary reception during King Charles’ visit.
Babet, the sole parliamentary representative of Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party, was condemned for a disgusting social media post.
