Several One Nation senators turn away during the opening of Parliament as the Acknowledgement of Country is read, according to reports from multiple outlets. The gesture is described as occurring in the first minutes of the new parliamentary sitting.
Both sources frame the conduct as a controversial moment for the government chamber’s customary proceedings. The Daily Mail reports that One Nation politicians turn their backs during the Acknowledgement of Country, while The West Australian specifies that three One Nation senators lead the act. Neither outlet indicates any immediate disruption or formal parliamentary response in the accounts provided.
Overall, the outlets align on what happens: senators from One Nation turn away during the Acknowledgement of Country at the start of a parliamentary session. They differ mainly in how many senators are singled out and the emphasis placed on the controversy, with one referring generally to “politicians” and the other naming “three” senators.
