The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has publicly retracted a comment made by Senator Lidia Thorpe on its Breakfast show about fellow Senator Pauline Hanson.

The clarification came after Thorpe, who previously made headlines for yelling at King Charles, had appeared on the show after she was suspended from the Upper House for ripping up a motion by Hanson.
