Lidia Thorpe has a pattern of disrespect for the Senate, the Australian people and Australia itself. She must be accountable for those decisions. Yet, the only choice that bothered the left was her opposition to the indigenous voice to Parliament. It is only when she opposed the voice that the left and media pile on started.

Conservative values, including freedom, mean we embrace diverse opinions within our wider embrace of the rich tapestry of God’s creation. From free debate of different opinions comes strong policy, fair policy. Yet our opponents on the control side of politics play the person, not the argument. This is second nature to the Left, the control side of politics, with hubris and intolerance covering for ignorance and driving their personal attacks.
In discussing Senator Thorpe’s behaviour, we see that, unlike the control side of politics, conservatives embrace differences of opinion. Could it be that the Left’s own attack on Senator Thorpe is political payback for her opposition to the voice? Remember how an old social media message from Lidia Thorpe, asking for Senator Hanson’s support in fighting the voice, was dredged up?
That dredging up was the warning shot Senator Thorpe did not heed. Now we have the bikie boss scandal. Adam Bandt reacted quickly, with an immediate sacking—as if it was orchestrated. One Nation asked what Adam Bandt knew and when he knew it. A head may roll, yet not the one intended. Listening to confidential briefings on bikie gang criminality while in a secret relationship with a recent boss of a bikie gang deserves strong censure. Cheating on one’s significant other deserves censure in another place, not here. One Nation hopes, in future, to see less petulance and better judgement from Senator Thorpe.
Australia needs the control side of politics, the Left, to demonstrate decency and tolerance towards competing viewpoints. We must work hard with everyday Australians across our nation to stop the Left’s lynch mob mentality—made worse in this case because the lynch mob is Senator Thorpe’s own party.
The Left do not debate. The control side fears debate. Instead they abuse and ridicule, silence and divide, and then seek to destroy. We have one flag, we are one community, we are one nation and conservatives celebrate difference of opinion.
Our Parliment has reached a new low with people of this calibre serving on It
Would not spit on Thorpe if she was dying of thirst. Her attitude to the Voice is predicated on the power that the local Aboriginal communities, would supposedly obtain. This could be a hinderance to the local Bikie gangs selling their shit in outback areas.
Good points Malcolm, I see that Traitor Wong there, maybe you can suggest to her the pain she is inflicting on “OUR” fellow Australian Julian Assange !
By doing “NOTHING” she is capitulating his illegal imprisonment !
Well said Senator Roberts. Despite the deplorable behavior of Senator Thorpe, you defend her right to her opinions. That is the right and proper position for all to take. “The control side of politics” and many others, seek to stifle debate and cancel all who do not agree with them. It is a pity that it is necessary for you to express views on these issues in Parliament. Have we all forgotten how free speech and debate are necessary for the advancement of a functioning society – that we have to be reminded of the fact? Sadly that appears to be so.
