Acceptable Behaviour for an elected politician ?

[Magnum27]

I'm sure there will those who defend this behaviour, but no way should any elected representative of politics be allowed to stay in politics behaving like this, and threatening someone in public. A smart politician would walk away, no way Albo or anyone else would get involved in this sort of crap

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Worrying stuff. If it can happen to Lidia, it can happen to anybody who gets thrown out of a strip club.

I never would have seen this coming. Shes usually such a wonderful and level headed person

This blatantly racist hatred is so out of character /s

In b4 usual suspects defend her

 

[Mofra]

She has no supporters left, surely

 

[Golden_6]

She is a blatant racist, there’s no mincing words there. It’s not acceptable behaviour at all.

Is there any disciplinary measures that can be put upon her as an independent?

Sadly for you no one is going to defend that

 

[Gough]

It's not but because Lydia Thorpe did it punishment should be extreme.

 

[burge13]

Oh she will have. The regulars will continue to defend her

 

[RandB]

It's just a sad ongoing saga now.

 

[Toump Ass]

She's a *in nimrod. Been clear as day for a long time.

 

[the_interloper]

I've read some support for her on Twitter, one comment was something like "well I'm certainly not going to get updates on Lydia Thorpe from a white media".

 

[burge13]

Where's the bloke that compared her to Malcom X, Gandhi, or whatever terrible call it was?

 

[Toump Ass]

Hope the Greens lose a lot of support for this. We're paying this flog 200k a year to hang out with organised criminals, abuse people at the rippers , and disrupt public events because of those morons.

 

[dumb]

Politician out at 3am? Meh
At a strip club? Meh. It may be hypocritical if you're a feminist and frequenting an establishment objectifying women, but that's about it.
Drunk? Not ideal but nothing unusual for a person celebrating, if she was drunk.
Mouthing off about small dicks and telling randos they took her lernds? Meh
Saying someone is marked? Has to explain herself and probably apologise, it's a threat.

Her short fuse and always being 'on' will always get her into trouble. Her friends pulling her away tells a story. She lacks decorum but is just a different animal to all the other animals in the zoo.

Constant racism? Meh

You need higher standards.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Kick her off the tour, Doug!

 

[carltonchelsea]

Celebrating her 50th at the peelers?
She’s so oppressed…..

Um shes out of the greens.

 

[CakeEater]

Anywho.

She hasnt acted her age there so she will get dragged through the rose bushes and rightfully so

 

[boncer34]

Um shes out of the greens.

She was elected on the Greens ticket though.

Personally I think if you're elected on a parties senate ticket and you leave the party you lose your seat but that's not the rules.

Nah the party should lose the seat for preselecting a dud.

I’m glad she kept Julian Burnside out

 

[footyfan1978]

Idiots voted her in so they made their bed and can lay in it until her term is over.

The Greens preselected her because she appeals to the rabble rousing activist class that is pervasive in Victoria and they’ve been bleeding to outfits like Victorian Socialists as they evolve into being the party for upper middle class professionals that care about the environment.

What if the party brings out a policy that clearly doesnt represent your electorate?

Isnt it your job to represent your electorate?
