Janet Rice says she is proud of her protest against the Philippines president Ferdinand Marcos Jr and 'would do it again'. The Greens senator held up a sign saying 'Stop the human right abuses' during the president's speech to the Australian parliament. 'The action I took in the house today was deliberate. And it was powerful,' she later told parliament. 'And I did it on behalf of every Filipino person whose human rights had been abused by the government of Marcos and the government of President Duterte before him.' The Senate then voted to censure Rice for her protest, something it has rarely done
