Dear Ttbn,

«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?»

I just bumped into this new thread and I have the advantage of not having the slightest clue who this Thorpe is, nor any desire to know.

It should be possible to remove a politician BY THEIR VOTERS, not by anyone else. If indeed she cheated her constituents then they should be able to replace her as their representative and any moment they are unable to do so is another dent in the illusion that Australia was a democracy.

Hey Is Mise,
I don't like her diviseness, smug attitude, hatred of the flag, attitude towards police, whinging about coal and climate change, defense of illegal immigrants, disrespect towards others in parliament or her admitted reason of being there to infiltrate.

Despite that, what really bothered me was if she lied in parliament.
I looked up the segment on 'The Project' and looked at the petition.
I had the change.org petition filled out, but thought I'd better investigate the lying to parliament issue first, and finished watching the segment first.
After watching the segment on 'The Project', the 'lying to parliament' issue was in regards to taking the oath and swearing allegiance to the Queen, which she said she had to do in order to become a member of Parliament, and I can forgive her for that one, because if I was to become an MP it wouldn't be to serve the Queen, but to serve our country.

ttbn,
- You can't really whinge about cancel culture, and then try to cancel somebody, though if you think our duty is to the queen and not the country, I guess I could forgive and understand your position.
- But I don't agree with it, stuff the Royals.

I closed the window without signing the petition, so my answer is no.

I agree with Paul, but I'm certainly not a Greens supporter.
I largely do not support much of anything Lydia Thorpe says, but on some level I support her right to say it, even if I don't agree with it.
- And it's more than what she deserves because they would not support my right to say the things that I think, no doubt they'd be trying to cancel me.
I should've signed the damn thing just for that, but I have principles.

Further I want to point out that we don't have sovereignty anymore anyway, if we ever even did.
I don't understand why people would vote people like her in, sad state this country has become.
They call it progress, I mostly call it 'gone to shite'

Who is Lydia Thorpe, no person by that name is in the Australian parliament.

Linia Thorpe, the lead candidate for the GREENS in Victoria, scored a half a million votes. This pathetic petition at last count had 30 sigs on it. I'm glad Linia gets up the noses of the forums far right and other old farts out there. Issy your clowns from the Shooters and Hooters Party, whose crazy policy is to arm school children with loaded guns, scored less than 0.1% of the national vote, and didn't come within a bull roar in the Victorian senate race. ttbn's Hanson mob, he was spooking before the election, did just as badly.

This mob can't win at a democratic vote, they want those who have been elected, and not of their ilk, kicked out and some toady of their persuasion put in their place. Gee fellas, it ain't going to happen. GO LINIA STICK IT UP EM'.

So it would appear that some posters don’t care if MsP swear false oaths and commit perjury to get their Parliamentry salaries and perks; says a lot about their own moral standards.

Dear Critic,

«if I was to become an MP it wouldn't be to serve the Queen, but to serve our country.»

Really? so you would serve the country even if that was against the wishes of your constituents who voted for you? Would you, like the other politicians, lie to them in order to get elected only to betray them the next day?

In a democracy, it is the people, the actual people of the land who are supposed to determine their own fate, including, if necessary, to protect themselves against the state. Sadly it is not technically practical for them all to congregate in parliament building to voice their wishes, so instead they elect you to represent them - them, neither any Queen nor any country!

Yuyutsu,

"I just bumped into this new thread and I have the advantage of not having the slightest clue who this Thorpe is, nor any desire to know".

You are always so proud to proclaim your lack of knowledge and disinterest, but you keep on making making comments about everything.

I don't "whinge", and I am not "cancelling" anyone. I am objecting to a person who lied under oath, admitted it, says she doesn't think of herself as an Australian, but is allowed to remain in the Australian parliament.

Grow up man!

Is Mise,

No, they don’t care because they are brainless.
