Lydia Thorpe is a bully:

"Greens senator Lidia Thorpe’s former chief of staff says he was scared and appalled by her outburst in a meeting with two Indigenous community leaders at Parliament House last year, describing her behaviour among the most unprofessional conduct he has ever witnessed.

The claims by Thorpe’s ex-top adviser reinforce the account of the meeting by Aboriginal elder Aunty Geraldine Atkinson, aged in her 70s, who has previously alleged the tirade of abuse levelled at her by the senator distressed her so much that she sought medical attention from the parliamentary nurse.

David Mejia-Canales, who resigned from Thorpe’s office in June, accompanied the senator to the meeting with Atkinson and Marcus Stewart, the co-chairs of the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria, and their policy adviser, Nicole Schlesinger, to discuss the state’s treaty process in a committee room in Parliament House, Canberra, on June 22, 2021.

His account of what happened and his efforts to inform the Greens’ leadership of Thorpe’s “appalling conduct” are detailed in an apology email sent from his Parliament House address to Atkinson and Stewart in June, one year after the meeting, as one of his final acts before leaving the senator’s office."

Greens are the modern equivalent of anarchists.

I wonder if it was Thorpe's white half or her black half that bullied the elderly aboriginal lady to the point of needing medical assistance. Probably, she's just plain crazy all the way through.

I am not sure that blaming an entire party for the actions
of one fanatical senator is the right things to do. However,
she needs to be taken aside and told in no uncertain terms
to stop giving the party a bad name. Also that she's doing
a disservice to her cause as well. She's being divisive
and people are turning against supporting her cause. If
she's got and sense she will pay attention. Otherwise the
party can kick her out - as can the voters in her electorate.

Her behaviour is unacceptable.

Come on, this clown is only shouting what the rest of the bunch of twits want to.

Long may she rant, so more people realise what the Greens really represent.

The sad truth is that there are no genuine conservationists among the Greens !

II think Ian Cohen, former Green MP in NSW, was the last genuine conservationist among that party’s MsP.
