More than 1.3 million people have signed the petition since Friday, when the independent Queensland senator made insensitive remarks about Muslims immediately after the Christchurch massacre.
"People are angry and frustrated that our political system has allowed a politician to spread such division and hate," Senator Faruqi said.Senator Faruqi said the Greens were "exploring every option" to suspend Senator Anning from Parliament.
All signatures were signed by MUSLIMS OF WORLD Strangely, MOST WERE NOT FROM AUSTRALIA ? A fake petition which should not b used to decide Australian policy. Anning as Australian citizen has freedom of speech & share his ideas Auspol Australia not a MUZZIE country like NZ yet
An Australian senator coping disgusting abuse is unacceptable!
They want him out because next election he’ll have more than 19 votes.
And what about the millions who don’t go online every 5 minutes or ever at all. Your online petition is worthless.
damn i thought it was to remove the greens shit
Petitions are not justification for removing someone elected to parliament. As much as I dislike his response to NZ, this is disgraceful and is an insult to democracy.
Freedom of speech ..... He is entitled to his opinion like we all are !!! Don't like his opinion ok ... Get over it ...we might like your beliefs either but you don't care do you EachToTheirOwn
Iwe need to sign a petition to remove Sarah Hanson young and Robert Di Natale and all of the Greens because there all a bunch of useless Looney idiots there all against Australians and Australia
He will be voted back in... guaranteed.
The democratic process is to vote Anning out of parliament which will happen if he doesn’t have sufficient support from Australian citizens. People seem very confused, the person accused of committing the NZ atrocity is a guy called Brenton Tarrant not Fraser Anning.
People on the fringes of politics who have their own Party/Person they support, really should focus on their Parties policies, rather than wasting their energies trying to assassinate someone they don’t like.
All the muslims, shows how many are here plus maybe a few disloyal Aussies. Many probably put several in. Online or postal surveys are unreliable and easily fixed. as the census and SSM both were.
There’s 25 million people in Australia and the 1 million are so hypocritical. Freedom of speech. Many millions have no issue with Fraser. Leave it to the voters to decide not the hypocrite
That would be a blow to free speech and democracy. Let the voters decide.
mostly signed by foreigners
we could probably get more signatures to disband the greens
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At least we know there are at least a million leftists who hate Australia.
People whine about spreading hate. Why have the media not been banned from social media yet?
1.3 million ppl signed, out of a population of about 24 million in Australia, then that's not as big a percentage as you wish us to believe.
Why was this given to an unelected Greens Senator? It should have been handed to the Prime Minister. I regret signing it now that I see it was not serious.
It is meaningless, a senator cannot be removed that way!
Sorry whether you support him or not, but he was elected by the people and I believe only the people can remove him. Is called a democracy.
There is something called voting
And more than half of them aren't even from Australia. If this is the case and he gets removed, we want Sarah Hanson Young and Richard Di Nutali removed also!!
Can't do.
The most useless petition in Australian history
I HAVE JUST 2 WORDS TO SAY TO THE WATERMELON GREENS & THE 2ND WORD IS ..........OFF !!!!
He is a monster who’s lost his humanity and doesn’t deserve to represent anyone or be on a public pay job ,,, kick him out and if you can out the country would be lot better,,
Whatever happened to freedom of speech? I'm no fan of Senator Anning but he's as entitled to his views as anyone else.
Wasted effort! The signatories probably fail to understand the law - same as 'egg kid'! Why give it to a greens Senator? Give it to the Senate leader or the Speaker if you feel the need. There are plenty of other important issues that also need to be addressed.
What a pack of idiots. But they are green i suppose
Queensland will reinstate him!!!
You can not remove him until the next election. Giving it to the greens was the wisest thing to do. They are so bloody stupid they will think they can do it. You will need to change the constitution to be able to do something like that. Good luck with that
So if the LiberalAus now says, 'That's about the number of dirtbag lefties we need to beat in those areas' Well done!
No free speech in this country. Or there only is if it’s coming from the left.

Other than creating a media storm, can anyone tell me for certain if online petition to remove anyone from office ever worked? Reality is we need to work with existing laws n election. Everything else is simply hyped up media pumping!
It doesn't work like that..
Anning’s laughing.
So if we get a petition from 1 million people to kick ScoMo out of office it will happen ? - how about the greens ? if we get 1 million people to say they want the greens party shut down - will it happen ?
Excellent. Go. We don’t want you
Leftards triple signing ,no doubt
more power to you MehreenFaruqi

Fraser Anning hits back after being egged at Melbourne rally | Sky News AustraliaFraser Anning has been egged at a Melbourne rally following Scott Morrison's announcement that the government will censure the Queensland Senator over his comments about the mosque shootings in New Zealand.\n\nThe Prime Minister said there had been discussions between Senators Mathias Cormann and Penny Wong about a bipartisan motion when parliament returns in April.\n\nA 17-year-old boy was arrested after allegedly throwing an egg at Senator Anning at a speaking event at Moorabbin on Saturday.\n\nThe teenager has since been released pending further inquiries.\n\n\n\n pwafork Yeah...such a waste of an egg, unless it came from a chook with Salmonella pwafork My stance all along because of his age, but if he was an adult the consequences would be incarceration. You can’t assault democracy without punishment, and as an official must have protective measures. This act only just crosses the line but once that LINE IS CROSSED Dominos pwafork

PM says Fraser Anning must face 'full force of law' for 'appalling' anti-Muslim commentsPrime Minister Scott Morrison says there should be legal consequences for independent senator Fraser Anning blaming the Islamic community for a mosque shooting. Well maybe you should actually do something about it? I don’t want to hear from Mr.Morrison. I don’t want to watch him deflect this onto Anning, who is but a minor irritant in a flaming fire that the LNP and OneNation have created. Don’t deliver your insincere wisdom from the pulpit of righteousness- I just don’t want to hear it. Garbage. Freedom of speech shouldn’t be denied no matter how awful his opinions are. It’s exposed him for the idiot he is, now the whole country knows.
