The question is, CAN she or anyone else be removed for lying, breaking an oath, being disloyal, hating Australia, or pretending to be aboriginal when she is half white?
But of course she should removed if it is legally possible. Thorpe is an awful person: a disgrace to both her cultures, black and white. Posted by ttbn, Wednesday, 20 July 2022 3:51:02 PM

I didn't know that any Australian politician
could be removed by posters simply giving their opinions on a discussion forum. I would have thought that for a politician to lose their seat - it was up to their party to remove them for selection and then it was up to the voters in their electorate to not vote them in. As has happened to others - that we saw during the last election. I don't know that much about this Indigenous Senator. From what I've read so far - she does appear to be controversial. And gets a lot of criticism. But that comes with the territory I would imagine, especially for an Indigenous female who chooses not to play by the rules. Perhaps she'll learn how to play the game - given time. Or her party will decide to replace her. Anyway - we don't hear of outspoken white males having petitions against them - despite their outspoken views and gaffes. People like David Leyonhjelm, Bod Katter, Barnaby Joyce, Peter Dutton, come to mind. Pauline Hanson and Jacqui Lambie also have made some controversial statements - right? There are as many gaffes as there are politicians. I say - let the party decide Lydia Thorpe's future. If she rubs enough people the wrong way - and doesn't learn what she needs to do - she won't last long in politics. Especially when her own people are critical of her. For now, I say - leave her to her own fate. Time will take care of her and her actions. Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 20 July 2022 4:15:29 PM

Is Mise,
According to the link given below 94% of Australians believe that a politician who is caught lying to the Australian people should resign their position. We're told that Politicians who lie, pork barrel, or wrongly claim taxpayer money should quit, the "Australia Talks National Survey" has revealed. Plus, about 9 in 10 Australians also believe that the government should establish a federal corruption watchdog. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-16/australia-talks-when-should-politicians-resign/100217170 Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 20 July 2022 4:37:20 PM

Foxy, if what you have just stated was a reality the politician herd would be substantially thinned to the extent that we would likely no longer have a functioning government.

Is this justified by her remarks on taking the oath/affirmation, the flag and her apparent lying to get into Parliament?
