Katter’s Australia Party has expelled their only Senator, Queensland’s Fraser Anning, following a series of warnings given by the party executive on his activism for a discriminatory immigration policy.
Senator Anning stirred controversy in August during his maiden speech, in which he advocated for the return of the White Australia Policy, and used the phrase ‘final solution’ to describe a plebiscite on Muslim immigration.
The decision to expel Senator Anning follows Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s decision to cut funding for extra staff in the party’s Queensland branch for failing to disendorse Anning.
