Most agree that Queensland Senator Fraser Anning's public response to the terrorist massacre in Christchurch where 50 defenceless Muslims – including children – were slaughtered as they prayed in two mosques, has been nothing short of disgraceful.

As a result, the senator has been censured by parliament and both the prime minister and opposition leader have made clear these types of views unacceptable in parliament.
