The Senator in question is meeting with victims of misconduct in the banking sector.

But of course, he's been questioned further about his speech last night by the ABC's Anna Henderson:

ANNING

It's unfortunate there's turmoil over some of the things I said yesterday. That's entirely up to the people who are upset about it.

HENDERSON

Now that you've seen how that has played out, and you've seen how it's been responded to in the parliament - which is still going on right now - do you regret any of the comments you made?

ANNING

Not at all.

HENDERSON

Not at all?

ANNING

Not at all.

HENDERSON

Are you proudly and openly a racist person?

ANNING

No, I'm not at all. Who suggested that?

HENDERSON

Your comments have been likened to comments that were made in Nazi Germany. What do you say to that?

ANNING

That's pretty stupid. it was taken totally out of context. What I was saying is that the Australian people should have the right to have a say on who comes into this country. And I said that as the final solution to this problem would be to let the Australian people know.

HENDERSON

But you're an educated man, you would know that the 'final solution' has other connotations, wouldn't you?

ANNING

Absolutely. Look, the final solution - there's a final solution to stupidity, and that's a good education. The final solution to obesity is a good diet. People use that term all the time. I read in the paper today a football commentator today that the final solution to Liverpool's midfield crisis is getting rid of this person...

HENDERSON

But in the context of your comments...

ANNING

It wasn't in the context - the context of my comments was strictly to deal with people having the right, the Australian people having the right to vote on who comes into the place. All the rest is smoke and mirrors to try and deflect from that particular subject.
