I think I have to withdraw for calling people racists for being racist.
Sue Lines President
Senator Thorpe, you simply withdraw comments you made yesterday without repeating the offence.
Hang on a minute, Senator Thorpe. You need to be genuine in the withdrawal—
Lidia Thorpe Victoria, Independent
I'm not being genuine, but I'll withdraw because that's what the colony wants me to do.
Sue Lines President
Senator Thorpe, that is not appropriate. You simply need to stand and withdraw the comments you made yesterday without repeating them.
