Senator Fraser Anning will again sit in the Senate as an independent after he was fired from Bob Katter's party for refusing to abandon his push to ban "non-European" migration.
Party leader Bob Katter said it was his "melancholy duty" to sack Senator Anning after the senator defied orders from the party leadership to stop using language that divided "Europeans" and "non-Europeans".
He said there had been repeated "warnings" to drop the racial language.
