Greens senator Lidia Thorpe admits to undisclosed relationship with ex-bikie boss while on law enforcement committee

Staffers to Greens senator Lidia Thorpe were concerned her undisclosed relationship with a former outlaw motorcycle gang president while she served on parliament's law enforcement committee posed a perceived conflict of interest.

Should be booted out of the Green Party.

So a former Thorpe staffer told Bandt's office of the relationship 12 months ago....................but they didn't passed it on to him.
Yeah right, that's believable, there was nothing to see, even though she was sitting on a parliamentary law enforcement committee.

Bandt should be asked more questions on this.

Also a great opportunity for the ALP to go hard at the Greens and win more votes.

Is Politics generally at its lowest ebb ever? Certainly feels like it.

Liz Truss has fallen on her sword, sworn in by the Queen 45 days ago, and sworn at out by the King.

It says something (and nothing good) that the UK is a bigger basketcase politically than the USA and Australia.

Politics is a bottomless pit of disappointment punctuated by fleeting moments of hope.

You know what? The right decision was made. she walked.

But the hypocrisy of Dutton telling her to quit is absolutely unbelievable and breathtaking.

Many people will dismiss this because of who wrote it. There is some hyperbole but also a lot of truth in it.
Across all types of government we don’t invest in infrastructure sufficiently. In health that is Australia wide and is undoubtedly true in Victoria. Far too many hospital investment decisions are in the hands of politicians, there needs to be an independent body.

Of course it’s true Sin.


Another thing that needs to be called out by ALP voters is why everything has to go via Dan Andrews office. Dan has increased his public office staff count from 20 to 87. How can this amount of staff be justified? If the extra staff were needed put them in the office of the portfolio ministry that they are working on. No accountability is like a cancer.
