The prime minister wants independent senator Fraser Anning to face "the full force of the law" over his comments the Islamic community was to blame for the New Zealand mosque massacre.

And New Zealand's representative in Australia says the Queensland senator's comments were atrocious.

The government and Labor are planning a bipartisan motion condemning Senator Anning when parliament returns in April.

However, Scott Morrison went further on Sunday, when asked if a parliamentary motion was enough, saying: "I think the full force of the law should be applied to Senator Anning."
