An extraordinary row has erupted in the Senate as Pauline Hanson attempted to have Fatima Payman investigated for an alleged section 44 citizenship issue, with Lidia Thorpe throwing papers at the One Nation leader and flipping her middle finger as she stormed out of the chamber.
Payman, the former Labor senator turned independent, was born in Afghanistan. Hanson alleged Payman had not provided enough documents to prove she had revoked that citizenship, and on Wednesday morning attempted to table her own documents relating to her attempt to refer the issue for investigation.
