Independent MP Bob Katter has issued a stinging rebuke of the Australian Senate chief after she proposed removing the Lord’s Prayer from parliamentary proceedings.

It comes after the new Senate President Sue Lines said that as an atheist, she did not want to say the prayer, which has been read prior to each sitting day since 1901.
