Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe has come under attack for failing to disclose she was dating an ex-bikie boss while handling confidential information about outlaw motorcycle gangs in parliament.

The Prime Minister has called for a full explanation over the matter and Professor Marcia Langton has called on the Greens to dump Lidia Thorpe as their Indigenous affairs spokesperson.

Others though see Lidia Thorpe being treated as a scapegoat. They take the view other politicians have done substantially worse things in life, but they still remain in parliament in Australia.

If it is possible she should be kicked out. She is too stupid and arrogant too resign I believe.

As someone said in the last couple of days, Bandt should throw her out, then follow her through the door.

Even Marcia Langton wants her gone.

Thorpe may be guilty of poor judgement on her part, as for resignation from parliament that's a big call for someone democratically elected. The Usual Suspect, the Hansonite, ttbn supports a non elected authoritarian regime of his liking, all others are not wanted. Of course these extremists can't win through the ballot box so they seek other methods to gain power, getting ride of those they don't agree with is one way.

A chuckle for Aunty Marcia, in her latter years she has become the staid voice of Aboriginal reasonism, waiting now for a couple of blankets and a few trinkets to come the way of Aboriginal people. One should look back at her firebrand early years of activism, heaven forbid Langton was branded a communist by some, now the man of the extreme right is singing her praises, how the wheel has turned.

Just on sacking from parliament, last week we had the Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds attempting to interfere in a criminal case before the ACT court, she was also a witness in the case as well, she even had her partner sit in as another witness gave evidence, Reynolds was guilty of attempting to pervert the course of justice . As PM Scott Morrison was known to confided in a fundo religious fruitcake. Was Morrison in power, handing on info, or being unduly influenced by this man, no call from the Usual Suspect for these people to resign.

Added to the self confessed admission that she lied to get into Parliament she should go, and the rest of the perjurer Republicans with her; no matter from which party they come.

Dear Paul,

No. she should not resign.
As far as we know she did not do anything wrong.
She has been democratically elected in her electorate.
Her ex-bikie boyfriend had left the bikies when she
teamed up with him. In any case it's up to Bandt to
decide if she's going to be their choice for re-election
when the time comes. And also it will be up to her electorate
whether or not to re-elect her.

Politicians and leaders don't resign merely on heresay.
Morrison didn't, Trump didn't. Even Cardinal Pell didn't.
Thorpe will be judged by her electorate and her party -
as Tony Abbott was.
