Foxy, no one said she was not elected to the VICTORIAN parliament.
She was NOMINATED by her party to take up the Green's vacancy in the SENATE !
Stop wriggling !
Now she is in the senate we can watch and see what she can do there.
Previous Greens senators have not exactly been inspiring but perhaps ---

Hey BAZZ,

You still don't get it.

I'm not the one wriggling.

Thorpe won the seat of Northcote in the Victorian
by-election in 2017. She was sworn in as a MP
on 28th Nov. 2017.

In June 2020 Thorpe was pre=selected by Victorian
Greens to fill the federal Senate vacancy of former
leader Richard Di Natale's resignation.

It's not brain-surgery.

Foxy, I do not understand why you cannot see the difference.
She was a member of the VICTORIAN parliament.
She must have resigned.
That does not make her a senator of the Federal Parliament.
Until she was sworn in as a senator she had NO standing in Canberra.
Until then she was just a member of the public.

There's hope yet, Foxy has not yet claimed to identify as Australian Indigenous !

Bazz,

I don't understand why this is so difficult for you.

The argument arose because you stated that people
did not vote Thorpe in. They did. She ran as a
Greens candidate (not as an Independent) - and people
did vote her in as their member of the Victorian
Legislative Assembly for Northcote. She was a
Member of Parliament from 2017 to 2018.

Now in June 2020 Thorpe was pre-selected by the
Victorian Greens to fill the federal senate vacancy
caused by former leader Richard Di Natale's resignation.

She was the first Aboriginal woman to represent Victoria
in the Senate and now is the first Aboriginal federal
parliamentarian from the Greens.

I can't make it any clearer for you.

Why all this stirring?

Do you have a problem with either Aboriginals or the Greens
or perhaps both?
