Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young called one government member "a pig" and another "biased" and "a joke" in a fiery Senate estimates hearing scrutinising the conditions faced by children at Nauru.
Senator Hanson-Young was questioning Australian Human Rights Commission president Gillian Triggs on Tuesday over the appropriateness of deporting children and their families detained in Australia to the remote Pacific island.
