Leaked email reveals Greens staffer ‘scared and in shock’ after Lidia Thorpe’s ‘truly awful’ outburst
In the email, the senator’s former chief of staff apologised to Aboriginal elders for a meeting in June 2021, describing Thorpe’s conduct as “appalling”.
yet the vast majority of politicians seem to act like this or worse on a regular basis and no series of articles on that.
why would that be I wonder.....
Bob Katter is often angry or rude and I've never seen a word spoken against him for it. The response is usually along the lines of "good old Bob, what a true blue larrikin".

Lidia runs rings around them and they don't like it
When she was seeking pre-selection for the Senate, we had a long conversation.
She promised she would never cease being herself and if that upset the fascist white pigs it was just an added bonus
I couldn't vote for her quick enough

This is just Nine newspapers going “phukc, our type got booted out on their arses, and the voters actually really like the new crew. What can we do to make them look bad?”

So she is allowed to behave badly, including to Aboriginal elders because.... ? She is just being herself?

Two things:
1. You behave badly every time to take a breath
2. She isn't behaving badly

Abusing Aboriginal elders is not bad behaviour?
Is everyone allowed or just Lidia? What gives her a free pass, other than the obvious being her political party ?
You were there, were you?

You dont believe the Aboriginal victims who claimed to have been abused by her?
Would be uncomfortable if youve been posting in any of the Hawthorn racism threads.
The Greens arent even interested in looking into it. But thats ok because Lidia is your poster girl. When other politicians abuse their staff or others its outrageous.

Does the timeframe matter. It may be that the Greens have been able to keep it hushed until now.
You're very welcome to look at my posts in those threads. My stance is exactly the same it was on the Hawthorn issue - give sympathy to the alleged victims, but don't rush to hang the alleged perpetrator from the nearest lamp post until there is objective proof of guilt. If you want Thorpe's head for this, you're the epitome of a lynch mob mentality, because there is no objective evidence, just allegations and the third-party account of a bitter ex-staffer for Thorpe.
Which other party do you believe has done any better at investigating its own federal politicians? What did Labor do about the bullying allegations that rocked multiple members of their party in the past year?

Did-didn't-did-didn't attempts to nail opponents as hypocritical are so unedifying, pointless and unprovable. But we all do it.
My opinion? I know nothing of this woman, this allegation, and have other priorities.
But it would have to be pretty bad to even be mentioned in the same breath as the sort of outrageous grotesqueries perpetrated by the Coalition and their staff with monotonous regularity whilst in power. I'll just remind you until recently we had a PM who claimed ignorance of an alleged rape that ocurred 50 metres from the door of his office. He would have us believe that no-one felt it necessary to inform him of the alleged incident. That is beyond unbelievable.
And no, that doesn't mean to say that whatever Lidia Thorpe is accused of doesn't deserve scrutiny and condemnation if proven. But things have markedly improved since that rotten lot were booted out, and may they continue to. Decent, no-bullschitte government appears to be back, thank pfhukc.

What are you on about? I'm saying it makes no difference whether the incident was last week or last year. It should be investigated.
