Pauline Hanson storms out of parliament after being censured - SMH.com.au

Pauline Hanson storms out of parliament after being censured. The One Nation leader was removed from the House of Representatives on Thursday after a heated exchange with the Speaker, Bronwyn Bishop. Hanson had been criticising the government's immigration policy when Bishop interjected, telling her to sit down. Hanson refused, and Bishop then named her, which is the first step towards expulsion. Hanson then stood up and walked out of the chamber, followed by her two One Nation colleagues. The incident has been widely condemned by politicians from all sides of the House, with many calling for Bishop to resign.
