Queensland senator Fraser Anning flew to Melbourne on taxpayer dollars this weekend, using the money to attend a far right rally to protest African migrants.

Senator Anning, who called on a ‘final solution’ during his maiden speech to parliament, says African migrants present challenges for his home state and insists he was not walking alongside the group of neo-nazi’s saluting at the crowd.

Deputy Labor leader Tanya Plibersek says the senator’s actions were disgusting and demonstrate his intention to divide, rather than unite, the country.
