Senator Lidia Thorpe (unofficial constructive chat)

Because, yeah, chucking pieces of paper at someone is a "Heath & Safety risk". Right.

Guardian: Penny Wong moves to suspend Lidia Thorpe from Senate.

They're fine with Senator Hanson being grossly racist to Senators Payman and Thorpe but they draw the line at calling out racism #CivilityPolitics #auspol

I see Lidia Thorpe has been suspended from the Senate for the rest of the sitting year.

While I am not a big fan of Thorpe, I think this is harsh considering that rancid pillocking peanut, Babet merely gets censored for “n*gger” on SM & gets to carry on being a toxic stain on democracy as a Senator

Standing on ceremony Both Lidia Thorpe’s protest against King Charles and the subsequent civility policing served to demonstrate how the status quo continues without the Voice

Good call Stranger! I listened to Lidia Thorpe this morning and she was very articulate in explaining the reason for her behaviour. She has guts and a very good point about how no one pulls up Hanson for her racist behaviour.

Astonishing though not at all surprising that the major parties should join forces to expel Lidia Thorpe but not Pauline Hanson. Everything they pinned on Thorpe could have applied, again, to Hanson. Shameful. #auspol

There are (very) mixed views of Lidia Thorpe everywhere, but she sure can unite the Canberra gallery in a universal chorus of oped column tut-tutting. Which is nice in an era of political/media/platform division don’t you think?

I think what Senator Lidia Thorpe did to Pauline Hanson was great. I loved that Lidia tore up Hanson's crap in support of Fatima Payman. #Racism should not be normalised in Parliament. It's about time someone called it out as she and Senator Payman did. #Australia

‘Lidia Thorpe apologises to Pauline Hanson after mistakenly describing her as ‘convicted’ racist’

Well.. maybe not “convicted” 🙄

..but it’s the same Pauline Hanson who told Mehreen Faruqi to “pack your bags & piss off back to Pakistan”

& the same flog who has fanned the flames of hate for decades

The big question of the week is why is the Sydney Morning Herald so terrified of Lidia Thorpe?

Lidia Thorpe says she does not regret actions that caused her suspension from the Senate Senator Lidia Thorpe responds to her suspension from the Senate, saying she does not regret tearing up a motion and throwing it at Senator Pauline Hanson.

Lidia Thorpe is right, racism deserves to be treated with utter contempt no matter where it raises its ugly head.
Predictable that Labor joins the Liberal’s to silence an indigenous woman in Senate.
