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.

When will she start representing all Victorians, not only those with aboriginal heritage?

Um, never.

I think she said that, didn't she?

That alone should disqualify her from sitting in 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.

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.

Does she accept her Australian citizenship?
If so - what's all that crap about aboriginal sovereignty?

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. Grin

‘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.

That's why she opposed the voice, it would make her self-appointed role irrelevant.

That's why the Libs used her until she was no longer useful and tossed her away.

She's made blunder after blunder and is now desperate for attention and looking for an earlier Christmas break it seems.

The Libs used her and tossed her away?? Cheesy

She was a Greens pick.

Silly nonsense.
She was never lionised, propped up or elevated by anyone but the Greens.

It was the vile, Australia-hating Greens that delivered us Thorpe. And it was the ALP who gave us Fatima Payman.

They used her just like they did Senator Price...

But maybe lionised her was too strong language to use, you're right there.

Crap. The only people who ever used Thorpe were the Greens

The "just like" is moronic. Price is nothing like Thorpe.
