Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe has accused One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson of calling her a ‘b****’ during a Senate debate.
On Monday morning, Thorpe raised a point of order.
‘I just got called a b**** by a racist,’ she said, referring to Hanson.
Hanson left the chamber soon after, criticising Thorpe as she exited.
‘I will be glad to see the back end of you in this place in two years’ time,’ Hanson said.
The incident occurred during a debate on Israel and the United States’ recent strike against Iran, which resulted in the death of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Senate was debating an Opposition motion welcoming Khamenei’s death and condemning the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
