If a male senator went to a strip club, with or without accompanying females friends, it would be career ending and it should be!

This Lidia Thorpe situation has become a parody of itself, true character is now on display for all to see and I have to wonder if those with young daughters think it's OK?

Unless she went there to rebel-rouse or lecture the attendees. Either way, her credibility (mental state?) continues to be under scrutiny.

She was alleged to be accompanying a friend who was having his 50th birthday at the venue, maybe one of these?



It seems pretty obvious to me, based on her recent activities, she is trying to set herself up so that she can claim she is a victim of the racist authorities.

If one my daughters behaved like that, I'd disown her.

Your taxes and mine at work....😒
This from the Age: Lidia Thorpe has defended her behaviour outside a Melbourne strip club, after footage surfaced of her yelling profanities and telling men they had small genitalia.

Unfortunately she is untouchable while she remains a member of the Senate.

It all started with her starting an argument with a "European looking person" inside the club accusing him of stealing her land. Makes my blood boil.

K Rudd was outed going to a strip club and his popularity rating skyrocketed 

A friend was a Greens candidate many years ago.  I think that she would now agree that it was fortunate that she wasn't elected as she was eminently ill-prepared for politics/parliament at the time.  It was apparent to me that she was selected on the basis of the boxes she ticked rather than her ability to do the job.  Almost a quarter of a century later, the Greens seem to have taken the same approach with Thorpe and guaranteed her a seat in the Senate because of what she is rather than whether she is capable of doing the job or whether she is an appropriate person to be a Senator.  It has come back to bite them on the butt big time, but it's also biting Lidia on the butt.

It's interesting to compare Thorpe with the fictional Alex Irving from "Total Control".  Lidia could have done worse than to follow Alex's lead or, indeed, that of the major parties' Indigenous Senators, who manage to perform their roles with dignity and respect.

Now with this missive I will tread carefully!

I have absolutely no doubt that many suing the AFL for brain injury sustained on the field of play are absolutely legitimate... however... cocaine use also causes brain damage and I hope neurosurgeons can tell the difference between the two, if there is one. I'll leave it at that.
