Australian senator Fraser Anning stirred a serious wave of criticism launched at him by parliament members aiming to condemn his highly problematic racist and anti-Muslim comments that caused an upheaval after the New Zealand mosque attacks in Christchurch took place last month.

On Thursday, the controversial leader was shunned collectively by the Australian parliament for his remarks termed as "inflammatory and divisive comments seeking to attribute blame to victims of a horrific crime and to vilify people on the basis of religion, which do not reflect the opinions of the Australian Senate or the Australian people”.

However, a particular video has taken the internet by storm in which Anning is seen being censured by a fellow parliamentarian Sarah Hanson-Young of the Greens party.

Slamming Anning Sarah says, "People lost their lives and you think it's a joke. What an absolute disgrace. He has no right to have the privilege to stand in this place and spout that hatred, that racism."

She adds, "'To be an apologist to terrorism and murder. We know where this leads because we've seen it. We saw it on the 15th of March in New Zealand, because we've heard the names of the 50 people who died."

Sarah further goes on to state: "I am not even going to call him Senator Anning because he doesn't deserve it. He is not fit to represent the Australian people. He is not fit to call himself an Australian, he is not us."

Anning, a far-right independent senator, has been under fire after he  expressed his contentious views at the day of the mosque shooting in New Zealand subsequently sparking an outrage which now reached the Australian Senate where he was formally censured with a Greens notion to suspend him.

Anning had stated earlier: “The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program that allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place."
