Senate debates Questions without Notice

My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Women, Senator Ruston. After SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon suffered a miscarriage, failed UKIP candidate Raheem Kassam tweeted:

Can someone just like... tape Nicola Sturgeon's mouth shut? And her legs, so she can't reproduce.

Yesterday Senator Cormann labelled the comments as:

disgraceful and highly objectionable and completely outrageous that, of course, I entirely abhor, and I'm sure anyone in this Senate chamber abhors.

Does the minister agree with Senator Cormann?
