‘She is gone’: Peta Credlin torches Lidia Thorpe following newest ‘brag’

[@waynequinn3576]

She has admitted openly that she knew what she was saying and doesn’t accept any recognition of any of the royal family. That alone should mean she is removed from any political party and can never serve in parliament.
