That moronic attention seeker Lidia Thorpe has made an admission that she never swore allegiance to the Queen correctly, making a deliberate mispronunciation of the word "heirs"...

After Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie questioned whether her actions contradicted the parliamentary oath she swore, Thorpe revealed she made a change when reciting the affirmation.

"I swore allegiance to the queen's hairs," she told the ABC.

"If you listen close enough, it wasn't her 'heirs', it was her 'hairs' that I was giving my allegiance to and now that they are no longer here, I don't know where that stands."

In the oath she swore: "I ... do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her heirs and successors according to law."

Based on this, "there may be a High Court case that may succeed for her non-oath, for her revelation that she didn't really swear the oath of allegiance. There's some possibility of the courts accepting the claim that she's not duly sworn in." I hope someone does bring a case against her in the High Court, I hope she loses and is forced to vacate that seat and to repay taxpayers the salary she has been paid - in full.

I hope she goes too, but she signed a written oath so I don't think this will amount to anything.

Heirs, hairs... Irrelevant. Thorpe signed the oath as they all do.

She's now walked back from her earlier claim that she deliberately messed up the oath.

Perhaps she realised she was heading for legal problems?   ;D

The Governor General should sack her.

Check out her Facebook page. I mean it - seriously. Go look at it and tell me whether it looks like the Facebook page of a Senator who sits in Federal Parliament, or an Aboriginal rights activist. Virtually every post is on Aboriginal topics, with a few misguided posts about Gaza. Nothing about other Victorians who aren't Aboriginal people. Nothing. Sadly, I am one of her supposed constituents here in Victoria. She is nothing more than a misguided, lunatic activist sitting in the federal Senate and us taxpayers are paying ($217,000 per year) for her activism, quite literally.

Should Lidia Thorpe be forced to resign or removed from office somehow, or should she be permitted to stay for the remaining three years of her term? See poll added to topic.

Exactly.

The signed oath had no mistakes.

I'm afraid we're stuck with her.

Are there any protest demonstrations against her?

It's obvious.
If shevwants to play stupid and mentally retarded "hair instead of heirs"
Sack her on diminished mental acuity.

The only reason she is still there is because albosleazy  is in trouble and may need her seat.
Won't be a problem after 5ge next election, I doubt she will get in again.
There can't be that many knucklevdragging, spittle drooling morons out there to elect it again.

She is an Idiot but the oath was to Her heirs and successors.

The successors bit covers it the heirs is basically meaningless. Once the Heir takes office he / she is the successor. It's the same person but has no relevance while still a Heir. She would have signed the affirmation.

In other terms who cares.

No it was clearly 'her hairs and suckers'. And she holds up her fist which gives an extra vote.

"Ordah.. ORDAH!!  Senator Thorpe!  You must learn that this Senate is NOT the place for political statements..... you have seriously disturbed some of our sleeping members!  You are henceforth barred from entering this place until you resolve your personal issues, and apologise to this house and to the Royal Family for your outbursts and your power saluting!"

We need some politicians with balls to say it like it is and not treat it as some kindergarten game, and we need a Squeaker who has more on show than a golf ball factory...

One who will do this:-

Finger and power salute is HEAVY.

Her behaviour should breach some sort of Parliamentary protocol.

She is either a Senator representative of her whole constituency or a rabid ratbag militant Aboriginal activist.

She can't be or shouldn't be allowed to be both.

She can be any alphabet soup she likes if she gets [./]

No it was to Queen Elizabeth 11 and her heirs and successors.

Had she been sworn in after Charlie was made King it would have been to him and his.

And I care .... because it proves that the woman can't be taken at her word and she couldn't lie straight in bed.

She is there under false pretenses and her behaviour over the past 3 years should see her removed from the role of Senator in our Parliament.

If she can't be removed she requires a lengthy ban from attending Parliament.

Not that that would bother her, she like most of her ilk like collecting tax payers money for nothing.

Does she claim Aboriginal sovereignty?

It's time some government had the balls to tell it like it is:- if you have other sovereignty you are not an Australian citizen and must forfeit and repay all benefits received ... and cannot vote or stand for election, and, if you have done so, you have committed fraud.

The Federal Parliament of the Commonwealth has a person lurking undetected who doesn't keep her word and is a liar. How could this ever arise in the Realm of the High Mighty Charlie, his heirs and Harry and Juliar?

You didn't think that John Howards 30,000 plus lies didn't breach some sort of Parliamentary protocol?

The breach some sort of Parliamentary protocol doctrine likely applies to 70% of them..

Apply that one and you may find parliament house occupied by 3 cleaners and a cook.

Howard ... much though I despised him ... didn't run around making an absolute tool of himself as Thorpe has been doing for nearly 5 years... even before she stole a Senate seat under false pretenses.

Did she suck Adam Bandts plonker with a false beard on?

well, at your age....

Yes - Howard was a sneaky little rat going behind the people's backs over and over again....and betraying this country and its ethos.

The Skank is doing the same in a different way - but both should face the firing squad.

I don't see anyone calling for Lidia Thorpe for PM, like Jacinta Price.... one is a politician with some nous and nuts and determined to unite the country - the other a skank play acting for one side and perpetuating and expanding division.

What IS behind this Corowa campaign?  Started in the Heartland of the Murray... lots of hyperbole - 'stormed' Corowa   ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D ...nah... NAH!  They met at the War Memorial and held up a sign..... I got as far as something to do with a meat processing plant and a paywall jumped up at me...

I get it - job cuts or whatever at the meat processing plant are a Communist plot or something.... that doesn't explain the fifty men in black and their leader out front not even wearing a mask.... hardly disguising themselves like BLeMish of something... pro-Pallie rioters and threateners...

Yes Thorpe is an embarrassing Dum Dum but howard done 1,000 times the damage to people and Howard is just 1 example.

Thorpe's entire contribution barely falls outside the category of light humor. People tend to ignore her.

Lidia Thorpe may be ineligible to sit in Senate

Unfortunately she will be there till 2028. I did hope it would be 2025 but alas no.

Australia would benefit from having a strong Aboriginal senator but unfortunately it isn't Lidia. Maybe she can have a better second half to her term.

I live near Corowa, and saw those idiots protesting. All had their faces completely covered in an attempt to remain anonymous from Police and media - how brave! Then they all went to Corowa RSL for lunch and had to take off their masks in order to sign in with their licences and the cops came in after and just collected all their information, so they now know who each of those fools is. Dumbasses!

Locals?  Or visitors?  What did they do?  Hold up a sign?  Big deal.... wait for the rising of the moon for real..... when the reality bites home - as is occurring in Queenslund at the moment with cattle station sized claims for 'freehold' and not just a block each ... then you will hear the distant thunder.

As I said to Skanka -  which Free Settler who arrived here did NOT have his/her land and rights and lives of family members etc stolen - and how did they come to 'steal' 'Aboriginal land'?  They bought and paid for it under the rules that are supposed to govern for all... equally - a concept quite a few in Australia absolutely struggle to get a grip on.  Which exactly convict did not have his/her entire life stolen?  And yet they rebuilt with toil, blood, sweat and tears - not by handouts and land grabs and supremacism.

Go view that map I created for future Queensland states after they tear away from the dopes in Brisdrain calling the shots on such madness when they've likely never ever visited the place and know buggar-all anyway.  Off the coast of West Malaria there is a fine island for Gon'mo for the True Recalcitrants... ... the NT has already set in process The Midnight Express for serial criminals including children... 3 AM knock on the door... a wise criminal would have a bag packed ready, just like in Old Russia or Germany....

Now watch Skanka and the rest of the Idiot's Gallery whine that I'm advocating this when what it does clearly is warn of the very real dangers of such things as 'segregation', Apartheid, and privilege v non-privilege .... I cannot train fools.... the riff-raff are already planning to jail parents in Britain who will not allow their children to have their balls and tits hacked off:-

That's why she fought against the voice, it would make her irrelevant and she'd need to actually represent the people of her state.

'Parliamentary data showed Thorpe missed 51 of the 138 sitting days and voted in 572 of the 1238 divisions.'

Probably the 572 weren't about giving sovereignty to Uluru. She must have some opinions even if hair is heir. Power to koalas, now!

So she has missed almost 40% of sitting days (and lets be honest, parliament doesn't sit that often) and has only voted in just over 40% of divisions. Not a great record, not that she cares. She's just there to pocket the money to pay for her activism and attending protests.
