50 is not too old for political service. My mum worked hard for her constituents for 34 years in local government. She was there for them until she was 78 years old.
She'll be 55 so another term will take her into her 60s and as she said we need younger politicians with fresh ideas and passion for the job.

Hahaha! This woman is a grifter posing as an activist. You have to love the fact that blatant narcissism is totally fine if you're a 'social justice warrior'. What she did to the greens was hilarious.
She is actually a Malignant Narcissist. And continuously and openly displays all the traits of The Dark Triad. Narcissism (Grandiosity & self-Importance), Machiavellianism (Manipulative and continuously plays the victim) and Psychopathy (Lack of empathy for anyone but herself).
She should be more respectful to the Greens. Because it was that party, their platform and policies that she was first elected that allowed her to be in the position she is now. So she should show a bit more graditude. They are not racist in any way, shape or form. 💚💚💚💚💚
I do not believer her assault allegations. Believe she thinks an arm around her shoulder means assault or inappropriate touching. It is women like this that are making men everywhere afraid to interact with women because they don't understand the constant subjective shifting landscape of inappropriateness.
This is the first time 60 Minutes has left their comments open!!! LOL. I like her. Shakers and changers. She is memorable for sure. We should all be so fortunate.
i believe in being " brutally " honest. But how do you get anywhere without being able talk and debate with others. How do you get others to listen. They won't because they know that she won't listen to fresh ideas because she's " fighting . Listening to what she says and NOT how she says it. Doesn't work for me i get turned off by an aggressive approach. Yes fight but if you fight you DO need people to hear you.
The idea of land ownership never existed for Aboriginal Australians. They believed that they belonged to the land and the land owned them. This was a commonly discussed, positive and much-admired attribute of the indigenous people for a long time. Then hateful, resentful activists like Lydia Thorpe came along, and invented terms like "traditional owners' and now...well, look at where we are.
"Wish i was there, i missed out", " we are all human"... from her friend on her character... are rebuttals to excuse her actions when her actions and behaviour need to be extremely high in standard for such a position, and she, along with friends and even channel 9 and karl believe its all fun and games - red flags... She prob caused the dv. She is suppose to be fighting for all australians and injustice... Shes only their for one set of people.. thats racist!
Ive been praying for strong, wise, passionate, educated indigenous people to infiltrate Australian parliament. I support Senator Lydia Thorpe and may she continue to fight the good fight. We evolve and grow by learning from our mistakes. More honest courageous individuals needed to lead our wonderful people and country ❤️
These .... INTERESTING personality types intrigued me with their boisterous, loud, extreme, radical, look-at-me persona & it obvious that Aboriginalism is everything to her... Well.... I have a question... Who is she really serving?.... The people or herself?.... Is she really making a difference being who she is I really have to wonder....
@@noramaddy4409 which is very sad to only pick the aboriginal side not also her dad's side. The same applies to Obama and VP Harris. These are mixed raced people so it's a form of racism to deny their other race and play the black card.
Okay I'm American and black and have been paying very much attention two Australian politics especially in the last two-and-a-half years. And the thing about this woman is she's definitely more white than she is indigenous and she is nowhere near black in my honest opinion. I think she is so ashamed to be white that she would rather be racist to her own people and make herself into something she's not. I mean if you look at her own children they're white. This is a woman who is known for causing trouble and she knows people can see right through her and people are had it but the more the media and enables her behavior and the more and the more she quadruples down the more she basically feels like I can get away with this. I mean in my honest opinion she's the Rachel Dolezal of Australia.... Not to mention the fact that she is more hated by Australia's major political parties even more hated than Pauline Hanson should speak volumes
@@amalek2750I mean just from watching this is a woman who does not want to be challenged who hates being called out on her BS even people in the indigenous community of Australia are basically looking at her as an embarrassment and as a poor excuse of a public servant. Not to mention the fact that this woman is either a quarter or 1/8 indigenous and and she thinks she's ridiculous. She would rather ridicule the very people she claims she represents instead of just saying you know what I'm a white woman who hates my own race and I'm willing to basically call myself another race just so I don't have to deal with my own race. Look at her own family they do not support her and they don't support her own antics
@oliviabuller7389She is clearly mixed much more white than aboriginal. There are various looking aborigines just like there are various looks to Western blacks of African descent. Trust me if she looked like a typical aboriginal she wouldn’t have reached this far, maybe in sport but nothing else.
@@beyourself2444 I agree with you on the analysis about her looks, but… what does it matter?!?!? Isn‘t calling someone out to be less black or aboriginal making your own argument racist in itself? Personally I don’t give a s#%* what race you are, what God you pray to or whom you are in love with, as long as you share my rather high values of living together as humans!!! Why can’t the whitest human there ever was in history fight for what he/she thinks is right, even if that’s inequality, being against racism or fighting for black rights?!? In my personal opinion… if you have this mindset, your argument is basically nothing different to that of a leader of the aryan brotherhood or kkk saying that you cannot join and fight for their bulls#%* goals, just because you are „more mixed african than white“. Hopefully this drastic comparison gets my point across?!! Take care
@oliviabuller7389 Aboriginal is not the same as black! Not that her skin color is of any concern! There is only race that binds us all and that is the human race! The color of our skin is irrelevant! Shame on her for using her “black” heritage as a political tool! This virtue signaling epidemic is getting old! Someone should run for office without using intersectionality, identity politics, victim Olympics, and virtue signaling, they could then build a political campaign based solely on their views, their agenda, and their plans for the future. That kind of candidate would earn more votes, across more political divides than any before them, because when you stop the identity politics you stop alienating large swaths of the population!
Shockingly, I'd never heard of Lydia Thorpe. All I can candidly say is that she's a refreshing kind of politician with an antithetical lifestyle and mindset to the vile politicasters we see in Australia and across the world. Kudos Lydia
I wish more politicians would give up there seat for the younger generation, as,as the lady said its there future hopefully theyll make a better job than thoughs that went before ,and thats not just for Australia but for every nation around the world
An amazing impression to the world? going out on a stripclub as a senator and a mother of three, and then being racist towards white people screaming and making a scene, yeah agree what an impression
So she is like our Marjory Taylor Green here in the US. I'm sorry but this is not the way a person runs a country. It is good to be strong but to be insulting and no manners. when she was younger it may have been acceptable but now she is an adult.

@@hus390 As an indigenous Ngai Tamanuhuri Wahine Māori I can tell you that if you dilute tea with milk it's still BLACK tea, and likewise if you dilute an indigenous person with European ancestry it does NOT make them less black...what it means is that they carry the legacy of colonisation in their blood, it can make you bItter or sad, or it can empower you with determination to make the world better, more loving and more connected...I choose the latter, I can't speak for her...but I can tell she is a fighter and she's doing her ancestors proud.

Dear Senator Thorpe please give me a reason as to why you did not act for me your constituent despite being provided with evidence of corruption at the highest level of Federal Government and Agencies? A formal complaint I lodged with you my representative met with no response apart from your advisors either not showing you content my formal complaint or for some reason you perhaps set out to protect wrongful actions of Law Makers that bankrupted me even though I was solvent at the time of my illegal bankruptcy by the Attorney-General Senator George Brandis. I am an Australian regardless of what blood runs through my veins just like you. You took on the position of a Senator so if I lodged a formal complaint you are obliged to ensure that corruption I reported to you in the role of a Senator is investigated. Of course if my allegations were unfounded of corruption in the Federal Government, the Senate and Government Agencies then I should be bought answer for my insidious actions. Why did you not ensure that I should of been punished for wrongfully reporting actions of Law Makers if the matter reported to you lacked credence? As my representative in the Senate you had all documents/evidence to either follow up on my complaint as being legitimate or if I had been dishonest to report my actions as improper. I will not stoop to the level of others in the comments posted against you in the article I just want Justice to prevail and your role as a Senator is to see that the Rule of Law is applied.

They loose there integrity, they forget the people and the votes, they forget there mission over 💰
LMAO 😂 you clearly dont know this fraud , not aboriginal, not smart , not tough either just all mouth
Hahaha! This woman is a grifter posing as an activist. You have to love the fact that blatant narcissism is totally fine if you're a 'social justice warrior'. What she did to the greens was hilarious.
Are you a badger?
She is actually a Malignant Narcissist. And continuously and openly displays all the traits of The Dark Triad. Narcissism (Grandiosity & self-Importance), Machiavellianism (Manipulative and continuously plays the victim) and Psychopathy (Lack of empathy for anyone but herself).
Truth teller!
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Keep up the good right Lidia.
She should be more respectful to the Greens.
Because it was that party, their platform and policies that she was first elected that allowed her to be in the position she is now.
So she should show a bit more graditude.
They are not racist in any way, shape or form.
💚💚💚💚💚
I do not believer her assault allegations. Believe she thinks an arm around her shoulder means assault or inappropriate touching. It is women like this that are making men everywhere afraid to interact with women because they don't understand the constant subjective shifting landscape of inappropriateness.
This is the first time 60 Minutes has left their comments open!!! LOL. I like her. Shakers and changers. She is memorable for sure. We should all be so fortunate.
bigoted
You like racists?
i believe in being " brutally " honest. But how do you get anywhere without being able talk and debate with others. How do you get others to listen. They won't because they know that she won't listen to fresh ideas because she's " fighting . Listening to what she says and NOT how she says it. Doesn't work for me i get turned off by an aggressive approach. Yes fight but if you fight you DO need people to hear you.
The idea of land ownership never existed for Aboriginal Australians. They believed that they belonged to the land and the land owned them. This was a commonly discussed, positive and much-admired attribute of the indigenous people for a long time. Then hateful, resentful activists like Lydia Thorpe came along, and invented terms like "traditional owners' and now...well, look at where we are.
I so so so adore this Women
More power to her
Australia's Rachael dozeal lol. Funded by globalised billionaires whose protocols are about destroying nations.
Are you serious? She is a clown.
"Wish i was there, i missed out", " we are all human"... from her friend on her character... are rebuttals to excuse her actions when her actions and behaviour need to be extremely high in standard for such a position, and she, along with friends and even channel 9 and karl believe its all fun and games - red flags...
She prob caused the dv.
She is suppose to be fighting for all australians and injustice... Shes only their for one set of people.. thats racist!
Id like to know..What shes done for her people..😊
Bravo...there needs to be more of these brave and honourable souls all over the world. I send courage and strength in dealing with the monsters.
WTF🤦♂ She IS THE MONSTER🤷
Badger? @@jake.e.wanabee5333
"What Label's Stick" None! Good for her.
Her poor kids.
Power to the people 👊
People are idiots.
Ive been praying for strong, wise, passionate, educated indigenous people to infiltrate Australian parliament. I support Senator Lydia Thorpe and may she continue to fight the good fight. We evolve and grow by learning from our mistakes. More honest courageous individuals needed to lead our wonderful people and country ❤️
FROM THIS NATIVE FROM AOTEAROA LOUD N PROUD 💯%♥️
Sorry this puff piece didn't land!
These .... INTERESTING personality types intrigued me with their boisterous, loud, extreme, radical, look-at-me persona & it obvious that Aboriginalism is everything to her...
Well.... I have a question... Who is she really serving?.... The people or herself?.... Is she really making a difference being who she is I really have to wonder....
Is there any politician who is making difference for anyone else except themselves?
Is she not a mixed race?
Her father is Scottish.
@@noramaddy4409 which is very sad to only pick the aboriginal side not also her dad's side. The same applies to Obama and VP Harris. These are mixed raced people so it's a form of racism to deny their other race and play the black card.
Races do not exist. She is indigenous Australian - a Gunai-Gunditjmara woman
Judge Judy is Black. She's not Anglo Saxons, British, or Germanic. Judge Judy is Jewish though.
Wait who is black?!
Okay I'm American and black and have been paying very much attention two Australian politics especially in the last two-and-a-half years. And the thing about this woman is she's definitely more white than she is indigenous and she is nowhere near black in my honest opinion. I think she is so ashamed to be white that she would rather be racist to her own people and make herself into something she's not. I mean if you look at her own children they're white. This is a woman who is known for causing trouble and she knows people can see right through her and people are had it but the more the media and enables her behavior and the more and the more she quadruples down the more she basically feels like I can get away with this. I mean in my honest opinion she's the Rachel Dolezal of Australia.... Not to mention the fact that she is more hated by Australia's major political parties even more hated than Pauline Hanson should speak volumes
Fellow US citizen here.
I think you are answering my question regarding the issue here. I'm following you with what you're saying.
Thank you.
@@amalek2750I mean just from watching this is a woman who does not want to be challenged who hates being called out on her BS even people in the indigenous community of Australia are basically looking at her as an embarrassment and as a poor excuse of a public servant. Not to mention the fact that this woman is either a quarter or 1/8 indigenous and and she thinks she's ridiculous. She would rather ridicule the very people she claims she represents instead of just saying you know what I'm a white woman who hates my own race and I'm willing to basically call myself another race just so I don't have to deal with my own race. Look at her own family they do not support her and they don't support her own antics
@oliviabuller7389She is clearly mixed much more white than aboriginal. There are various looking aborigines just like there are various looks to Western blacks of African descent. Trust me if she looked like a typical aboriginal she wouldn’t have reached this far, maybe in sport but nothing else.
@@beyourself2444 I agree with you on the analysis about her looks, but… what does it matter?!?!?
Isn‘t calling someone out to be less black or aboriginal making your own argument racist in itself?
Personally I don’t give a s#%* what race you are, what God you pray to or whom you are in love with, as long as you share my rather high values of living together as humans!!!
Why can’t the whitest human there ever was in history fight for what he/she thinks is right, even if that’s inequality, being against racism or fighting for black rights?!?
In my personal opinion… if you have this mindset, your argument is basically nothing different to that of a leader of the aryan brotherhood or kkk saying that you cannot join and fight for their bulls#%* goals, just because you are „more mixed african than white“.
Hopefully this drastic comparison gets my point across?!!
Take care
@oliviabuller7389
Aboriginal is not the same as black!
Not that her skin color is of any concern! There is only race that binds us all and that is the human race! The color of our skin is irrelevant!
Shame on her for using her “black” heritage as a political tool! This virtue signaling epidemic is getting old!
Someone should run for office without using intersectionality, identity politics, victim Olympics, and virtue signaling, they could then build a political campaign based solely on their views, their agenda, and their plans for the future. That kind of candidate would earn more votes, across more political divides than any before them, because when you stop the identity politics you stop alienating large swaths of the population!
Shockingly, I'd never heard of Lydia Thorpe. All I can candidly say is that she's a refreshing kind of politician with an antithetical lifestyle and mindset to the vile politicasters we see in Australia and across the world. Kudos Lydia
Don't base your opinion on this story, she's actually a very racist and dishonest person that causes more harm than good to the indigenous reputation.
Check out some of her more memorable video clips.. she is a Banshee
@@mreyecanreal8170Nah we love her, if you ain't one of us don't dare speak for us. Mind your own business if you ain't tribal bred
@@camelrodriguezjnr you dropped this 🧠
Nah - th-cam.com/video/cPcjRWfaQTk/w-d-xo.html
The world is always behind when it comes to embracing strong black women!
Great job Lydia from the USA AND THE CARIBBEAN!
It's good to see a politician be a human being for a change instead of these robots that we seem to get.
She's an intelligent outsider who asks the right questions and points out the flaws of the ruling elite. That makes her a threat.
She's a breath of fresh air
Was feeling the same thing..
I am not Australian but also a first nations son.
Power to this 50 yr young sister.
...of onions and garlic
What a joke interview! Pathetic flirting, no questioning on any of Lydia Thorpe’s terrible behaviour. How is this Journalism!
I wish more politicians would give up there seat for the younger generation, as,as the lady said its there future hopefully theyll make a better job than thoughs that went before ,and thats not just for Australia but for every nation around the world
Great to see in the world. You are making an amazing impression on the world. 🌎 🗺
An amazing impression to the world? going out on a stripclub as a senator and a mother of three, and then being racist towards white people screaming and making a scene, yeah agree what an impression
Yeah crawling on all 4's like a manky dog really does leave an impression 🤡🤡
She is seen as nuts. Just like AOC or Biden.
i'm shocked she is black
But she is proven to tell out right lies. Poor Carl .
So she is like our Marjory Taylor Green here in the US. I'm sorry but this is not the way a person runs a country. It is good to be strong but to be insulting and no manners. when she was younger it may have been acceptable but now she is an adult.
MTG is an utter idiot!! Zero good for constituency! And this one is unstable! Black?😳Aboriginal? 👀 No wonder she babbles about race a lot, she doesn’t look like one. At best, have a tiny quantum! 😂 ….. But one thing I agree with her, it’s ridiculous to swear allegiance to a foreign Monarch who’s not an Australian.
I am a proud Australian born greek Egyptian. I am even more proud of our First Nations people and love and respect them now more than ever. I have made it my mission to teach my daughter of not only her heritage but also our First Nations heritage. Lidia Thorpe is a phenomenal human being. We now more than ever need to rally behind her to support her with her missions for seats and parliament for First Nations. We all love her and even more the fight in her
NO YOu need to watch how she actually conducts herself on a regular occassion
Well said@@erinkelly2471
Lydia Thorpe is a genuine and authentic and real person who is doing what is right for indigenous people, really admire her
Appreciate her fighting spirit, however she refers to herself as the “black” judge Judy. Is she black?
@@theorangemoon3292I don’t think so! Although aboriginals are black skinned. But I think black refers to Africans. She maybe have a quantum, and tries desperately to babble about race to be noticed.
Yes she is black. There’s different kinds of black. Some may be darker then others, some may be lighter then others. What are you to say or judge someone whether they’re black or not?
@DonnellOkafor you must be either blind or arrogant
@@hus390 As an indigenous Ngai Tamanuhuri Wahine Māori I can tell you that if you dilute tea with milk it's still BLACK tea, and likewise if you dilute an indigenous person with European ancestry it does NOT make them less black...what it means is that they carry the legacy of colonisation in their blood, it can make you bItter or sad, or it can empower you with determination to make the world better, more loving and more connected...I choose the latter, I can't speak for her...but I can tell she is a fighter and she's doing her ancestors proud. What have you done to make your ancestors proud? If you haven't done anything except make racist comments then maybe start doing something differently today.
Go Lydia truth telling ❤
Sometimes people just go overboard and discharge WHAT he or she may believe is RIGHT and if its WRONG then it is... The peoples Parliament... DEMOCRACY one's view... AFTER all it is 🇦🇺 prosperity everyone enjoys... ❤️LOVE 🇦🇺 Australia... & respect your CONSTITUTION but above all DO ❤️ love the Indigenous who they are and the WAY they are... Usually having brilliant THOUGHTS... who we are??? 🙏Amen & Amen
She is jumping on the madness of the world
this government shouldn't throw stones in glass houses, especially theirs!
… actually, if Lidia spoke calmly like she did in this interview, I might actually respect her
Speaking calmly still doesn’t make the words coming out of her mouth right.
She’s not black and to be honest, she looks very European more than FN to me, but good on her for wanting to make things better for her people.
She is a Gunai-Gunditjmara woman. What's a Gunai-Gunditjmara woman supposed to look like?
Her dad said he always rented private rentals she never grew up in public housing
I love this woman! You are awesome!
Does this mean anyone can identify as black now?
Senator Thorpe is a Gunai-Gunditjmara woman
That's not what he dad just said. He said she was spoilt.
Its good to see the human side of this lady
Thats what psychopaths do. Emulate and mirror emotions of normal people
Oh i already love this woman. We need many of her here in USA 🙏❤️🙏
You already have many of her in the USA. AOC.
you can have her, we don't want her
I may have spoke to fast....
@@Peter-ll7vqHer origins we're way here before yours buddy. She don't need to go nowhere!
This Lydiot is a female Trump
She's the Martin Luther King of our motherland. Fighting for the rights of our black sistas and brothas who are getting treated like a 3rd class citizens in our motherland. I stand 100% in her beliefs for our people the original owners of the motherland
Lol are you joking you clowns get far too much
@@patkelly6349 not joking at all. As a black fella in our motherland we black fellas root for her all the way. She's right 100%. We need more strong black activist like her to fight for our people's rights in our motherland
It’s not your land you clown.
@@patkelly6349 What do you mean it isn't their land? They were the first on it.
3rd class how and in what way lol
Wish we had a few Lydia’s here in the USA.
No you wouldn't .. This is pure propaganda
I like her but the USA is more conservative than Australia, they would not tolerate her behaviour. She would receive even more awful backlash there than she does here.
Shes a liar 💯
Dog is an understatement.
Why is she allowed to behaviour like that but others cant
A VERY VERY WATERED DOWN BLACK!
@theangryamericanguy9288
I'm Black, and Lydia is much darker than me. I'm the same color as your average White person; that doesn't make me "White".
Another watered down American commenting on things they don't understand, that have nothing to with them.
Aussie could be uncomfortable for her speech and comments, BUT on the other hands, she is telling truth and very brave from minor community to fight for aussie majority.
GREAT STORY!!!’
bit off topic but i noticed that karl's eyes look really watery, especially his right one. it looks like it's even sagging under the weight of something.
“ Black woman” ????? Come again?😂😂 if she came to Canada and said that she’d get laughed at. I’m Métis and I don’t walk around screaming that I’m indigenous. I’m mixed. And I’m waaaaay darker then she is.
It’s a common phrase in Australia. Aboriginal people are called and call themselves “black”. It’s not a direct reference to their skin tone.
If a politician in Canada is First Nations damned right they are pointing it out to everyone that will listen!
@DonnellOkafor Prove that she has no aboriginal blood then
@@darlenefraser3022 well, it’s stupid.
@DonnellOkafor wait, you aren’t Swedish?😂
No amount of Buttering with make this woman appetizing.. Just a Bush Pig Banshee.
Beautiful inside and out.
😂😂Are you blind?
Dear Senator Thorpe please give me a reason as to why you did not act for me your constituent despite being provided with evidence of corruption at the highest level of Federal Government and Agencies?
A formal complaint I lodged with you my representative met with no response apart from your advisors either not showing you content my formal complaint or for some reason you perhaps set out to protect wrongful actions of Law Makers that bankrupted me even though I was solvent at the time of my illegal bankruptcy by the Attorney-General Senator George Brandis.
I am an Australian regardless of what blood runs through my veins just like you.
You took on the position of a Senator so if I lodged a formal complaint you are obliged to ensure that corruption I reported to you in the role of a Senator is investigated.
Of course if my allegations were unfounded of corruption in the Federal Government, the Senate and Government Agencies then I should be bought answer for my insidious actions.
Why did you not ensure that I should of been punished for wrongfully reporting actions of Law Makers if the matter reported to you lacked credence?
As my representative in the Senate you had all documents/evidence to either follow up on my complaint as being legitimate or if I had been dishonest to report my actions as improper.
I will not stoop to the level of others in the comments posted against you in the article I just want Justice to prevail and your role as a Senator is to see that the Rule of Law is applied.
THE BRIDE OF CHUCKY is in our parliament
Fabulous woman. She has no equal in this country.
Exactly. She is literally THE biggest racist in Australia.
When introducing her, that must say half indigenous
There is no such thing as half-indigenous. Senator Thorpe is a Gunai-Gunditjmara woman
Team Lidia
She's the opposite of judge Judy. She doesn't even know her skin colour.
Its tan, definitely not white
She is supposed to be “brutally honest” and this guys says it with a straight face? 😂… Well, she is not black so she starts right off the bat with a blatant lie!
Seriously? She’s is black first of all. Your black in America is different then blacks here in Australia. We have different blacks here, some are dark some are lighter. Don’t go making false statements like this if you’re not able to back it up logically
@@joniboy2182 😂 NO!… This broad is a fraud!… There has to be a lot of benefits being black and/or aboriginal and that’s why more and more people are pretending to be black and/or aboriginal! Her father is white and her mother is not fully aboriginal either so that makes her white!… She needs to show everyone her DNA test results because she doesn’t at all look like a black and/or an aboriginal person!
@@joniboy2182Indigenous is black? mmmmkay.
@@Ontheroxxwithsalt Indigenous people aren't black, depending which country you're talking about. Indigenous Australian are black even though some are lighter then others whereas Indigenous Americans are not black. Indigenous New Zealanders are some sort black, don't quote me on that cause I could be wrong on that one.
I like her. Makes sense. She seems strong and has a support network, so no need for me to wish her strength. I hope she gets her changes through.
