The Senate clarified that the suspension, initiated on March 6, 2025, is subject to judicial review. This decision follows allegations of gross misconduct and a suspension for breaching Senate standing orders.

The Senate's response underscores the legal complexities surrounding Senator Natasha's case and the need for judicial resolution.
