I have just retired just shy of 70. Single Female and have been working full time since I was 15. I purchased a house with my super in a small rural Qld town because I could not afford to go back to SE Qld. I did want to work to 70 and may be a little past that maybe 75, but I just could not do it anymore, I was exhausted not only physically but also mentally, I just could not deal with the garbage that goes on at work. I am receiving the pension and if I am frugal I will get by, at least I am happy now. Lidia Thorpe is pathetic, that girl needs to grow up and she obviously has terrible parents as they did not teach her any manners or respect.
It's time to sack her, she's nothing but trouble.. I agree about our indigenous peoples bones , they belong here in their home Australia 🇦🇺 She forgets she's half British and Irish/ part aboriginal.... She's a total fool and a disgrace.... her ancestors were responsible for what happened as well, but she doesn't mention that ... Australian indigenous people get treated well.. the Australian government is chucking $$ at health, schooling, etc
Yep well over $30 billion a year goes to “the mob” So where’s the money going And her accusation of taking her land. Let’s all have a look at the land acquired by the mob in the last decade.
Lidia Thorpe is an angry , unpleasant individual with no respect for anyone . She someone who is as far removed from being a good politician as anyone could be . Australia is a great country and she shames it with her presence .
These people like Thorpe attack the Colony But But use al the things the British and Immigrants bought to this Country. Running Water, Electricity, Cropping, Education, Health Care. Also Note the the Australian Aboriginals are also Immigrated to this Country. When will you ADD to Society ?
Makes me think of Monty Python - "All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans (Europeans) ever done for us?"
Lidia Thorpe needs to resign for this horrendous behaviour - very un-Australian to treat the King of the United Kingdom and Head of the Commonwealth in this way 🤬🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺✊✊✊
It is a real shame that we have people like this who give Australia a bad name for their own gain I am a migrant and have lived here 60 yrs so sad to see this behaviour our apologises King Charles
How unbecoming of a senator. Whether she agrees or not she should give respect where respect is due. Australia should be gracious to be a member of the commonwealth. I wished my country was a member of the commonwealth.
Her entire political career has been disgraceful they need to pass a bill to sack any politician that acts like a Bogan from Logan and they should not receive a pension or any benefits most politicians don’t deserve a pension anyway they should have to fund their own retirement especially people like Lidiot Thorpe 😂😂😂
This was someone desperate for attention. The King is just a figurehead and she knows it. How pathetically childish can you get. These people have become pathological in society in part because they're permitted to act out without any consequences.
Can we find out who paid her ... she's quite a drama Queen .. She talks English ,,she takes Colonial Money . she is Protected under Colonial Law .. She uses Colonial Hospitals .. She sees the Colonial GPs .. she Travels on Colonial transport.. to where is her Aboriginal Loyalty .. need i go On .. ?
She wants an additional three and a half years of a whopping salary and perks, rather than quitting on her 'stand and conviction'?! Greedy woman! As a Senator signing on the dotted line (for fame and fortune?) she had no right to insult the dignity and decorum of the parliament. If the government has any integrity and rules of behaviour, it would boot her out with immediate effect. As a common citizen she has all the right in the world to yell herself back to being an authentic Aboriginal. Her DNA may show she is 75% British 10% we couldn't care less and 15% Aboriginal. She should check and tell us. She has insulted Aboriginals and the British and the 10% are neither here or there! Out of parliament along with her pet dead possum, at once! No more oxygen, no more waste of time!
There should be a law that states, if elected to a particular party, then the person decides to change parties or become independent, then it should be deemed they were not elected to wherever they move, therefore not a parliamentarian.
WHat a stupid and arrogantly showing how disrespectful she is and if this how the aborginal poeple act they deserve nothing and shold be showen no respect just like she did
So successful was Lydia Thorpe's protest that sky Australia is taking her story to the world again tonight......🎉 😆😆😆....and the foolish thought Murdoch's minions wanted to silence her....
I was just thinking a lot of people come to this country who are guests of our country they're invited by a variety of people, the prime minister or anybody else. I don't like some of them and I don't approve of them and the things that they do but I would never behave the way Lidia Thorpe did and bring shame on our country. Shame on you Lydia the only thing you succeeded in doing was giving Aboriginal people a bad name one of your elders should have a very stern word with you. Listen everybody Lydia is not a typical example of what Aboriginal people are like. Just like every other Society you get the good with the bad and the good are usually so good they outweigh the badness of the bad people. So there is still hope
@@sylviaismay5306 Lol.. Those who judge our first nation people on what Lydia Thorpe does are just racist.. The comedy is those who believe what's promoted as truthful by the same media platform that paid out over a billion dollars in a settlement agreement for amplifying false and untruthful information to their own customers still believe them..... Rupert Murdoch surrendered his Australian citizenship, Lydia Thorpe didn't ......
Before judging Lydia Thorpe for her protest, it's wise to remember that it was the owner of sky Australia that surrendered his Australia citizenship .. Rupert Murdoch Lydia remains fighting for what's right !
We took the traditional lands and smashed the traditional way of life. We brought the diseases. The alcohol. We committed the murders. We took the children from their mothers. We practised discrimination and exclusion. It was our ignorance and our prejudice. And our failure to imagine these things being done to us. With some noble exceptions, we failed to make the most basic human response and enter into their hearts and minds. We failed to ask - how would I feel if this were done to me? As a consequence, we failed to see that what we were doing degraded all of us.
Fair enough but what are you going to do about it? Use your technology that you developed over 40 thousand years? You should be ashamed for not inventing anything to protect yourselves.
They practised infanticide as a method of birth control, practised cultural pedophilia and execution murders of wives who wouldnt obey them. The children taken away were part white, it was illegal to remove full blood kids and it was done because it was seen as a responsibility. But it wasnt us, it was our predecessors. You should see someone for that imaginary guilt complex.
Was it really a 'disgrace"? People are too quick to jump on the band wagon shouting how terrible it was when in essence she was probably echoing the thoughts and words of many people! Personally I don't condone what she said but I stand by her right to say it! Her behaviour is exactly what we have come to expect from Politicains today!
Lidia Thorpe doesn't speak for me in any way, shape or form. There are ways and means to make a statement and the way she did was a joke and a disgrace ✅💯
@birdwatcher-o6u Her behaviour is in no way as abhorrent as the treatment of her people. They have been polite for over 2 centuries. How can you say that and sleep at night? I’m serious. They desperately need our support not criticism. They are screaming at us to get us to listen.👂⛓️💥You seem like a respectful person and I understand why you would think the way you do. I think you would agree with me if you knew more about this.
If she's that stupid to interpret our adverse comments of her as complimentary she really does need to get out of parliament and stop stealing our hard earned taxes
