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?

Sounds like she wants to have her cake and eat it.

Yep - that's how SovCits roll.

Dickheads.

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that Senator Hanson has not been criminally convicted of racism, and any suggestion to the contrary is unequivocally withdrawn”.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.
