Politicians across the political spectrum had called for the decision this year toadmit Ms Arndt as a Member of the Order of Australia be overturned because of her remarks about paedophilia and family violence.
Ms Arndt was castigated after she praised a Queensland police officer on Twitter for keeping an"open mind"about whethera man who murdered his wife and children by setting them alight had been"driven too far".
In February all parties in the Senate except One Nation condemned her comments."The values that underpin Ms Arndt's views on this horrific family violence incident are not consistent with her retaining her Order of Australia,"the motion read.
Ms Arndt had also previouslybeen cautioned over her use of the title"psychologist"but escaped sanction. Ms Arndt did not return calls and texts seeking comment buthas previously said criticisms of her remark were"virtue signalling"by"feral mobs".
