‘Unhinged’: Lidia Thorpe ‘does so much damage’ to Indigenous cause

Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe “does so much damage” to the Indigenous cause, according to Former Labor MP Michael Danby.
Mr Danby’s remarks come as the Independent Senator pushes to include the Palestine cause in this year’s Invasion Day rallies.
“I think October 7th has unhinged a lot of people,” Mr Danby told Sky News host Caleb Bond.
“First of all, there’s the war that’s going on over there.
“And then there are all the cookers like Lidia Thorpe and the bloke at Price Waterhouse Coopers - there’s so many, it’s unhinged people.”

[@rogueelement8831]

​@@sallycent6598It's probably not so much an issue of ignorance about the history of the world, more the interpretation of it, when it comes to individual perception. Lidia Thorpe isn't stupid either, she knows how to get what she wants. Attention and notoriety. Her followers see here as a champion. She likes being controversial, and enjoys the attention she gets from doing so. She has a comorbidity of cluster B personality disorders, which overrides her brain's ability to process common sense and logic.
