Senator Lidia Thorpe claims they were ‘making it up as they went along’ after being suspended over disorderly Senate outburst

Ms Thorpe’s suspension comes after independent senator Fatima Payman clashed with Ms Hanson on Wednesday over questions about her citizenship.

“I think they’re making it up as they go along and that’s part of the problem,” he told the ABC.

The comments seemed to refer to him He was censured by the Senate earlier this month for shouting “fuck the colony” At King Charles during an official ceremony.

“There seems to be only one rule for white people who get away with racism, and there seems to be only one rule for us when we call it out,” Ms. Thorpe said.

“We’re the naughty little black girl again, and if you want to call me that and make me uncomfortable, that’s okay.

“But I will not stand there, I will not sit there and be silent while they racially attack black people.”

The former Greens Senator has repeatedly challenged Ms Hanson, whom she accuses of using racist rhetoric to advance her political agenda.

“It is our responsibility to eradicate racism. Senator Hanson gets away with so much. He is a convicted racist,” he told the Today programme.

The federal court ruled this month that Ms Hanson racially slurred Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi when she told her to “go back to Pakistan”.

During the Senate conflict According to the One Nation Leader, Ms Thorpe resorted to insults and told Ms Hanson to “go back where you came from”.

The confrontation occurred after Ms. Hanson questioned independent Senator Ms. Payman’s legitimacy to serve in the Senate.

Ms Payman, who was born in Afghanistan, could not prove that she had renounced her citizenship due to Taliban rule in Kabul.

“The documents are not good enough. Ms. Hanson said in her speech to the Senate that it would not be good enough for anyone else here.”

In response, Ms. Payman said Ms. Hanson should “pack up her burqa and go to Afghanistan and discuss this with the Taliban.”

Ms Thorpe went on to label Ms Hanson “vindictive, evil, disgusting” and said “you are causing the shame of the human race” before entering the fray.

Ms. Thorpe tore up the documents pertaining to Ms. Payman’s eligibility for the Senate and threw them at Ms. Hanson, who raised her middle finger and left the chamber.

He doubled down on his actions during an ABC interview on Thursday, saying, “I’ll do it all over again.”

“I’m not one to stay silent and let this happen. I would do it again. “I tore up the letters Hanson wrote to the Senate, calling for an investigation of the salaried officer,” he said.

“This (questioning Ms. Payman’s suitability) is an act of racism and we need to dismantle it as a nation or we will continue to be divided.”

Ms Hanson said she was “delighted” Ms Thorpe was removed after she showed “aggression” towards “many senators here”.

Although Ms. Thorpe has been suspended for now, her impassioned defense of her actions showed that she has no intention of backing down.

“This suspension actually allows me to hang out with people and go out on the lawn and protest,” he said amid rumors that he could storm the Senate despite the suspension.
