    Labor and LNP are talking of a censure motion. I was wondering what consequences it could have

    "Although a resolution of the Senate censuring the government or a minister can have no direct constitutional or legal consequences, as an expression of the Senate's disapproval of actions or policies they may have significant political impact."

    So it's not going to remove him. Thankfully, only an election or contravention of section 44 can do that.
