Pauline Hanson slammed independent Senator Fatima Payman over her remarks following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, calling them vile and disgraceful. Senator Hanson recalled past clashes with Payman in parliament, where she says she was smeared with slurs for questioning constitutional eligibility. Defending Kirk as a man who valued free speech and respectful debate, Senator Hanson vowed to campaign hard to ensure Payman is not re-elected, stressing the need to remove divisive figures from Australian politics.
