‘Spoilt’: Lidia Thorpe got ‘everything she wanted’ growing up as a child

[@Jefferson1969-u4s]

I feel sorry for Roy. He has guts to open himself up on National TV. He seems like a regular bloke you would have a beer with.

[@markgiles7660]

Much respect for coming on the show and sharing your story.

[@donotcomply665]

See what happens when kids grow up entitled?

[@The_Resistance_1961]

No father endorses his daughter doing Ice and hanging with criminals. No father wants his daughter to embarrass herself every time she opens her mouth. No father wants his daughter to be a hate-filled c*nt. My heart goes out to Roy. He need not justify himself or apologise for his daughter's actions. He has very little say in what some other adult does, even if it is his daughter.

[@Nahbuts]

What an honest bloke. I feel for him. Having to live with this negativity.

[@lynbull2982]

Always thought Lidia Thorpe had British-Irish heritage, she does not look remotely Aboriginal. She is the most disrespectful politician. There should be a way of dismissing politicians like Lidia.

[@wilburgraham6260]

Spoilt alright, like a bag of prawns in the hot sun, vomit material

[@kathrynletchford5114]

Lol. You're not wrong.😂

[@anthonythistle1465]

You can see the pain in her father's face when he speaks about her.

[@anthonythistle1465]

@trulykiwi shame and pain are related. There is pain in shame

[@trishbattersby5749]

Honest man. It’s not easy to face your children’s faults. Remember once they’re adults their decisions are theirs as are the consequences

[@Angrym1ss]

Considering how level headed her Dad presents can anyone imagine Lidia herself ever being as level headed??? She is playing the race card hard and fast to grab positions and power?

[@victorgomes7585]

Spot on. That’s why she left the greens.

[@briankrahnert7218]

A good honest interview with Lidias' Dad.

[@TOM20000]

This is priceless.. and she's making policy for the nation. Hilarious

[@jrwilliams4029]

She’s 50% white Australian so the logic falls apart how she is entitled as a 50% poc aboriginal. Thorpe therefore must hate herself while acknowledging she is 1/2 racist while the other half is entitled. Her whole act is nonsense.

[@carlfrye1566]

Self hate is a pre-requisite for their view of the world.

[@BozesanVlad]

and if she can't respect the white blood, how could she respect the aboriginal one? she piss on both sides

[@johnpereira6893]

The race card is starting to wear a bit thin.

[@jaymcbakerk]

More than 50%…..her mother had white ancestry too

[@cut-the-crap]

No, not 50% white at all. 98% white! Lidia Thorpe is a lying FRAUD! Thorpe falsely claims to be an ‘Aboriginal Gunditjmar woman’ but she was born in Collingwood and has never lived in Gunditjmar country, nor did her mother Marjorie, who was born and raised in Yaloum, or her Grandmother Alma, who was born in Fitzroy, and the list goes on! Note that these alleged ‘Gunditjmar women' down through the generations all maintained the surname 'Thorpe’, an ancient moniker NOT of Aboriginal heritage, but of Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian origin. Perhaps that’s because five generations of Thorpe women were married to white men, starting with Lidia Thorpe's great, great, great grandmother? That’s a massively diluted half, of half, of half, of half, of half ‘Aboriginal Gunditjmar woman’ ancestry - and that’s only on her Mother’s side! Factoring in her white Father, the amount of genuine ‘Aboriginality’ Thorpe has genetically inherited could be NO MORE THAN 2%. Then there’s the fact that she has never ever lived in Gunditjmar country, nor as mentioned earlier, did her parents, grandparents, great grandparents, or great great grandparents! The only alleged tie to the Gunditjmar people is Thorpe’s half Aboriginal great, great, great grandmother, but there is NO actual proof! Lidia Thorpe's claims about her ‘Aboriginality’ are despicably dishonest, yet she actually wants white Australians to pay reparations to Aboriginal people! Does that mean she’ll be receiving 2% reparations, paid 98% to herself by herself? I guess she can take it out of the the federal MPs base salary of over $211,250, a perk of the job she ONLY got because of her FRAUDULENT ancestry!

[@TheWazza60]

What a brave thing to do,, good on you Roy.

[@seandelap8587]

Yes and that's most likely the problem spoiled children usually grow up into spoilt adults

[@jamesmorrow1646]

You’re Irish and you support the Provisional IRA murderers of the innocent Australian civilians Stephen Melrose and Nick Spanos. What spoilt you for you to support murderers?

[@Jefferson1969-u4s]

Correct.

[@lesfox2010]

So much hate around the place and usually the first to display it are radical activists, whilst claiming to promote peace, love and harmony. Many of them are simply malignant narcissists.

[@ravisingh7928]

Spoken like a true honky

[@MRxr400]

what a hard thing for a father to watch as his daughter goes off the rails with stuff like Lidia has done. He seems like a really level headed cool bloke.

[@butchlester1]

This man is an honest humble man, his daughter is riding the chip on the shoulder woke agenda, it’s sad to see - God bless her Father

[@carlfrye1566]

Many would say she hasn't grown up.

[@slickstrings]

50% aboriginal, 100% victim.

[@Jas-ts8mo]

50%? You sure about that?

[@cut-the-crap]

No, not 50% aboriginal, only 2% aboriginal! Lidia Thorpe is a lying FRAUD! Thorpe falsely claims to be an ‘Aboriginal Gunditjmar woman’ but she was born in Collingwood and has never lived in Gunditjmar country, nor did her mother Marjorie, who was born and raised in Yaloum, or her Grandmother Alma, who was born in Fitzroy, and the list goes on!

[@WJNJ-ek3zc]

Thorpe is nothing more than the Aussie version of Elizabeth Warren; thinks just cuz she's got a little indigenous blood in her that she speaks for all of them. Pathetic. Props to her dad for calling her out

[@PhilipShand]

Her father reckons 33%

[@shaneyule3484]

If Lidia's mum isn't full aboriginal, how can she be %50

[@WitchDoctor-m9s]

Fork Tongue Thorpe.

[@kellyocs1]

As a father and grandfather I found this so sad.

[@kylieperkins8130]

This is really sad for Roy. 😢

[@timl8302]

"Spare the rod......................"

[@chlorisnolen7829]

Good on her Dad for calling his daughter out 😊

[@Chris-wj8fz]

I knew marj Thorpe her mum and Lydia as a child in Melbourne 1981 working on indigenous advocacy in fitzroy

[@shaneyule3484]

Spoilt rotten, and is now another victim.

[@The_Resistance_1961]

And by the way - which Aboriginal language does Lidia speak?

[@pugthepug7910]

She needs psychiatric help seriously.. this will be in the history books.. when parliment allowed an acutely unwell mental health client apart of running this country.

[@lizdavies6796]

I love her father He’s an old sweetie. Accepts who she is, still adores her. Lucky girl. By the bye, there are 6 girls in our family, half black & half white. Our Mum and Dad were sweeties too. Not one of us pissed off about who and what we are. Hopefully she’s not past seeing what reality is one day? Hopefully.. Liz from Oz

[@jvalentine3508]

Thanks Roy I feel for you, You should be so proud of your daughter and what she has achieved in throughout her life. Yes, maybe it will not be right. In some people's eyes. She's a strong woman and you had something to do with it. I understand it maybe not what you expected but she has gone so far you can be proud of that. Take care my friend.

[@EdmundBoga]

It's sad and a real shame to see her going down an aggressive path. "We were born beautiful, WHAT HAPPENED ???

[@darensavy5014]

Lydia is a scorned woman that can't act on revenge cause 🚲 are involved.

It says on Wikipedia she grew up in housing commission

I know right

[@deelea2965]

Got a bit of a fiesty daughter too Roy. Know the feeling. Good on you for having your say.

[@simsong1188]

Lidia Thorpe is whiter than what i am. And im british.

[@chrismills2043]

mainly English and Irish.how much actual aboriginal is in her.

[@ErinAbou]

I think she’s mostly white. Ridiculous, entitled woman. Reminds me of Meghan M.

[@DonaHannah-x8k]

40 billion dollar the indigenous leaders have received and nothing has been given to indigenous people. So that lady might want to rethink her strategies

[@ErinAbou]

It reminds me of us in the US. Native American tribal leaders control the lands and the federal government funds they are given if they are a recognized tribe with treaty rights. The people at the top always have the best of everything while the regular members of the tribes remain poor, undereducated and alcohol/drug addicted.

[@Phoryai65]

Spoilt brat sums her up well dad. Exactly how she acts

[@abutimmy3743]

Is Linda Thorpe's mother still alive if so what does she think about her.

[@meredithisme3752]

Methane Markle another wasp

[@katehack1677]

Striking parallels. Estranged from white father who doesn't fit her narrative, leaves her free to lie like Meghan.

[@JustFourFun100]

Yeah Meghan Mk2 Markle. Profitable gig this oppression thing.

[@baztindal]

I think that you will find that most 'mixed' people will forget about their white heritage. That is what I have found over the years being involved with a mixed family. Not sure why but that's what I have found out.

[@DonaHannah-x8k]

Ask her what she has built for the country. She not even built so much as a chook house.

[@jaybee6212]

There Indigenous First Nations people who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, and those with indigenous heritage. Lydia Thorpe and those who conveniently "tick the box' are not Aboriginal or TS Islanders - they may have First Nations heritage, and should be proud of claiming that, but stop denying what-ever other blood-lines flow through your veins. Be true to yourself.

[@gary53]

Is the mother a full blood Aboriginal???

[@Nahbuts]

No. And neither is her grandmother.

[@patrickjohnson8741]

Put her on medicare's psychiatric help!

Very Disappointed father, so sad watching his daughter being a sad sorry little girl, spoilt child , feel for her patents, she had it so good by her father's comments. sad.
