The ‘appalling’ reason Lidia Thorpe refuses to quit

Ben Fordham is calling out Lidia Thorpe’s “outrageous” comments in the Senate.
Ms Thorpe was forced to resign as deputy leader of the Greens in the Senate after it was revealed a former president of an outlaw motorcycle gang while sitting on a parliamentary law enforcement committee.
She’s now refusing to resign from parliament, insisting she needs to “fight for First Nations justice”.
“That is Lidia Thorpe using the very real problems impacting Indigenous Australians to protect her own backside,” Ben said.
“How low can you go?”
