Lidia Thorpe suspended from Senate after stunt against Hanson Lidia Thorpe has been sensationally suspended from the Senate after a stunt against Pauline Hanson. It was a final act of defiance from Senator Lidia Thorpe to round off a year that also featured an expletive filled rant at the King of England. After telling One Nation’s Pauline Hanson she was “a convicted racist”, Senator Thorpe marched out of the chamber. But before she did Senator Thorpe resorted to the international sign language of flipping the bird, her final act captured by veteran photographer Mick Tsikas. Senator Thorpe has been suspended from the Senate for the “disorderly conduct”. It followed chaotic scenes, where Senator Thorpe appeared to throw papers in the chamber. Leader of the Government in the Senate Penny Wong then moved that Senator Thorpe be suspended on Thursday, the final sitting day of the year. However, her clash with One Nation’s Pauline Hanson was the reason for the Senate suspension, which was backed by Labor and the Coalition. Only the Greens opposed the suspension which was also backed by Senator Hanson and independents Jacqui Lambie and David Pocock. The Senate president said she wrote to Thorpe at 4.30pm today, offering her a chance to attend the Senate to explain herself or apologise. However, Senator Lines indicated that Senator Thorpe chose not to attend the disciplinary meeting. In extraordinary scenes, the blow-up emerged after Senator Hanson sought to table documents she alleged went to the eligibility of Labor-turned-independent senator Fatima Payman to sit in the Senate. Her accusation that Senator Payman was potentially in breach of Section 44 of the constitution prompted the following exchange. “Senator Hanson has worn the burqa in this place, maybe it’s time that she pack her burqa, and go to Afghanistan, and talk to the Taliban about this,” Ms Payman said. Ms Payman then accused Ms Hanson under parliamentary privilege of “racism”, before withdrawing the remarks. “You’re not just vindictive, mean, nasty – you bring disgrace to the human race,” she said. When Ms Hanson stood up to demand that the comments be withdrawn, Senator Thorpe then yelled across the chamber: “You’re a convicted racist!” She was responding in part to Ms Hanson’s claim that Ms Payman’s documentation was “not good enough, it would not be good enough for anyone else here in this place”. Ms Payman has held Australian citizenship since 2005. In addition, she still holds citizienship of Afghanistan, despite having attempted to renounce it in 2021. As the Australian embassy did not have any formal communication set up with the Taliban-led Afghan government, it was determined Ms Payman had taken all reasonable steps required to renounce her foreign citizenship. Ms Hanson has made multiple attempts to question Ms Payman’s citizenship, including writing to the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Ms Hanson, for her part, is not backing down. “If she’d been elected in 2016 instead of 2022, she would have been referred to the High Court like all the others,” she argued. “If she’d been elected as a conservative in 2022, I suspect she’d be referred right away. “Try as they might, however, they can’t wish this matter away. I’m not the only one in parliament questioning the surprising lack of documents in Payman’s disclosure supporting her claim she took reasonable steps to renounce her Afghan citizenship.” /www.news.com.au/national/politics/disgrace-to-the-human-race-senator-unleashes-on-pauline-hanson/news-story/747b0a13e5ef3f0d0fe01e4ae1077145

They should dock they pay of politicians who are suspended.

Lidia doesn't realise you don't get convicted in civil cases.

The Taliban could approve of this lady representing Afghanistan at Paris Olympics despite the fact she lives in Australia so what is stopping Fatima from renouncing her Afghan citizenship?

The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has congratulated dual Olympian track sprinter Kimia Yousofi, now based in Australia, on her selection in the Afghanistan Olympic Team for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games https://www.olympics.com.au/news/australian-based-afghan-athlete-kimia-yousofi-selected-for-afghanistan-olympic-team/

Lidia has English/Irish ancestry on her fathers side funny how these race grifters ignore their ancestry.

Fatima Payman is whiter than i am it's absurd for her to claim racism, there are many Sahih Ahadith that say Muhammad was a white man.

In the news bulletin i watched tonight,
there was        a clear image of Lidia Thorpe        exiting the Senate chamber,
and presenting her MIDDLE FINGER to members of the Senate, as she left.


Q.
Is there any sanction, for such behaviour.......as a Senator leaves the chamber ?

Suspension but still on full pay.

Throw in a 20k fine and watch all of their behaviour improve.

The only thing that our politicians take note of is any hit too there wallets/ purses

That's how it works in any other job, unless there is a specific clause in the employment contract that says employees can be suspended without pay.

But generally speaking, employers can't suspend employees without pay.

Your right but in sports your suspended on full pay BUT can be personally fined.
The moment these dregs of society ( Australian politicians) are face with having to spend a single dollar of their own rather than wasting millions of our taxes I guarantee they will improve their behaviour.

They are all hat no cattle

It pisses me off to no end that this halfwit activist is my Senate representative in federal parliament. When will she start representing all Victorians, not only those with aboriginal heritage? I know I'm not holding my breath. Here's hoping she loses her seat at the next election for the Senate.

Does she accept her Australian citizenship? Or does she think she is, instead, a citizen of a sovereign Aboriginal nation?
If the latter, she shouldn't be in parliament, according to the Constitution.

As an Independant she has no hope....She only got the seat because she ran on the Labor ticket!!!

:-? :-? :-?

Geez, these c~nts are predictable.

On personal failure: deflect, smear sh!t on the walls, then storm out.

She's unwell -

she needs to be put in a mental asylum.

Should sack, not suspend these Media showboats like Thorpe and Hanson. They're lowering our standards of politics with this downtown American Media politics.
They are nothing but saboteurs of our system.
Thorpe & Hanson's performances are just like seeing the Troll fights between Lisa Jones v Agnes, etc.

I'd certainly rather she wasn't in parliament, however, the Constitution doesn't deal with what people think.

She can think she's a Martian, or a Cocker Spaniel, but it still wouldn't matter - if she's an actual Australian citizen that's all that counts.

I'm not happy with that - I'd like to see her gone, but that's just the way it is.

If so - what's all that crap about aboriginal sovereignty?

The mental disorder is seen when she keeps saying 'not my king' then twice made the deliberate demand to him to give her a treaty, which means she believes he's the king. And she thinks he  rules the country, which is a grossly unfitting mindset for an Oz pollie.

In what capacity would she make a treaty?

As an Australian Senator - absurd. She swore allegiance to ERII and her successors - or didn't she? Did she perjury herself when she swore allegiance to 'ERII's "hairs", as she claimed?

As a sovereign Aboriginal nation's leader? Also absurd.

Senator Faruqi might be able to explain, perhaps.

Like all SovCit lunatics, she accepts her Australian citizenship when it's convenient for her and denies it when it isn't.

Interesting. 'A treaty is a formal, written agreement between two or more states or international organizations that is governed by international law.'
Maoris in the 1800s were such a state but Aboriginals now are not.  Thorpe probably means "you're not a very nice king and tell me you love me" but the psychiatrist may help her out.

This one is still an Afghan citizen, insh'allah,  in white supremacist wacist Austral i a - drawing a senatorial salary even after rattling on Labor that gave her a chance.

Thank you for your support in what I've explained to the house over and over... NO  TREATY!  And states have no right to develop any treaty.  And if any treaty ever comes to fruition, it is proof positive that Aborigines are not Australian citizens and must be stripped of all rights and privileges - and must have  visa to be here.   ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Darwin has Fallen ..... Brisbane Has Fallen..... The Rest Are Falling...

Charles could agree to have Thorpe with him on future tours, with Camilla standing on one side and Lidia on the other. If she smiles.

‘Crybullies’ Thorpe and Setka are cut from the same cloth

John Setka and Lidia Thorpe engage in intimidating behaviour – physical confrontations, threats, disruption – then immediately claim persecution when faced with consequences. Now that the ‘traumatised’ ex-CFMEU boss is looking to get his hands on some compo, will the Senator follow suit?




Thorpe’s history of confrontation dates all the way back to school, where by her own admission she would respond to conflict by “punching boys and girls out”. This pattern of aggressive behaviour has continued into her political career with various incidents including threatening men outside a strip club by telling them they were “marked”; lying down to block a police float at Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade; and being tackled by police during protests.

While serving on parliament’s law enforcement committee she even maintained a secret relationship with an ex-bikie gang boss, using encrypted apps to communicate with him, and deleting their communications regularly. When not engaging in physical confrontations, she has made offensive remarks about other senators, walked out of Senate hearings after heated exchanges, and has posted a message celebrating fire damage to Old Parliament House, declaring “the colonial system is burning down”. (She later deleted the tweet.)

Despite all of this aggressive behaviour, however, Thorpe presents herself as a victim.

This is precisely why she opposed the Voice to Parliament, it threatened to render her self-appointed role as a spokesperson for Indigenous issues irrelevant.

It’s also why the Liberals cynically propped her up, using her as a convenient shield until her utility ran out. Once discarded, she’s been left floundering, making missteps and scrambling for relevance. Now, her attention-seeking antics resemble nothing more than a bid to clock off early for Christmas.

This mirrors the behaviour of many in the No campaign here. They lionised her, elevating her as proof they weren’t racist for opposing the Voice. But once the referendum was over, and she had the audacity to advocate for policies benefiting Indigenous Australians, they turned on her with fury.

And today, the same predictable figures are leading the charge, proving once again that their solidarity was never more than opportunistic posturing.

Lidia Thorpe issues rare public apology to Pauline Hanson Lidia Thorpe has issued a rare public apology to Pauline Hanson for calling her a convicted racist after the barb sent legal letters flying. The One Nation leader had issued defamation warnings to Ms Thorpe and Channel 9’s Today show after the senator labelled her “a convicted racist” on the program on November 28. Previously, she had yelled the slur at Senator Hanson in the Senate chamber. Today then swiftly issued a clarification with the ABC also following suit after Senator Thorpe repeated the remarks outside the chamber without the protection of parliamentary privilege against defamation claims. On Monday, Senator Thorpe followed suit, issuing an apology of sorts to Senator Hanson. “To clarify, I was mistaken that she was ‘convicted’ because it was a civil case. “Sorry about that Pauline!” Nine issues clarification statement Nine issued a statement on Thursday evening stating Today “wishes to clarify that Senator Hanson has not been criminally convicted of racism, and any suggestion to the contrary is unequivocally withdrawn”. https://www.news.com.au/national/politics/lidia-thorpe-issues-rare-public-apology-to-pauline-hanson/news-story/aa2b504fef4d6655bf89cd2133702cef
