One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts has vowed to “do it again” after the party’s four senators turned their backs while the Indigenous Acknowledgement of Country was delivered at the beginning of the 48th parliament.
“Silent, respectful, but a protest. To bring the voice of many Australians to the floor of parliament. And we’ll do it again,” Roberts commented in the aftermath.
