Senator Lidia Thorpe

I sat down with ABC Radio National to remind this country to get used to Truth-Telling because I'm not going anywhere.

Utterly horrific. Two young boys and their parents shot in the head by the IDF in the occupied West Bank on their way home from a Ramadan shopping trip. The soldiers then beat and taunted the two surviving brothers, telling the boys they 'killed dogs'. This is a regime that the Albanese government is backing. Absolute shame on them. We cannot look away from Palestine. theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

EXCLUSIVE: NT Labor reverses on 'disastrous' Binybara/Lee Point project, now opposing it, says Senator Lidia Thorpe. Calls grow to abandon the federal project. nit.com.au/10-03-2026/230…

The opposition to the destruction of Binybara Lee Point has grown to the point that even Territory Labor is calling for a halt to this disastrous project. The Albanese government has so far refused to listen to Traditional Owners who have not consented to this destruction of their Country. Now we’ll see if Albanese is willing to listen to his own colleagues in the Northern Territory, who have just campaigned against the federal-led project in the Nightcliff by-election. And I look forward to seeing NT Labor and the Minister for Indigenous Australians protesting with the people against this. nit.com.au/10-03-2026/230…

Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe welcomes a new inquiry into racism against First Nations people, urging real action, not just reports. nit.com.au/05-03-2026/230…

Senator Hanson can distract with culture wars and call me a bitch as much as she wants - her record tells the real story of what she's about. She claims to stand up for working people, but today we've found out she billed taxpayers thousands of dollars for flights and chauffeurs to attend One Nation fundraisers. She has previously failed to declare gifts from billionaire Gina Rinehart, failed to properly disclose business interests and shareholdings, and her daughter has been installed into a plum $180k taxpayer-funded role in a One Nation office. Over recent years, One Nation has been forced to repay over $200k in wrongly claimed election spending. It's not clear how much personal wealth Hanson has, but she recently loaned $245k to her own party and refuses to say where the money came from. Pauline Hanson is not challenging the elites, she’s one of them. She’s using her position to protect her own interests and back her billionaire mates. While she distracts with division, the battlers and people she says she stands for are being left behind.

It is completely disingenuous for the Minister for Indigenous Australians to claim she stands with our people against David Connolly. Her own government signed off on his appointment and holds the power to remove him, but refuses to. nit.com.au/27-02-2026/229…

This morning, as mob and allies gathered in Darwin to protest the appointment of NT Administrator David Connolly, NT Police arrested and manhandled respected Larrakia Elder Eric Fejo on his own Country. Eric is a staunch defender of his Country and his people. It is utterly shameful that police would treat an Elder this way on Larrakia land. NT Police must publicly apologise. The Minister for Aboriginal Australians, Malarndirri McCarthy, was there. She denounced the new Administrator. But it is completely disingenuous to claim she stands with our people against David Connolly when her own government signed off on his appointment and holds the power to remove him. That power exists but they refuse to use it. By failing to act, they are part of the problem. Their inaction sends a clear message that they still endorse this man, no matter what the Minister may say at a microphone. She’s protesting something she can change. It’s the same refusal we see when it comes to using federal powers to stop the NT Government from targeting and locking up our children. Malarndirri, now that you’ve found your activist voice, I guess I'll see you at the next deaths in custody rally? And I’ll expect to see you fighting just as hard to get 10-year-old children out of prison.

The Albanese Government refused to expand the terms of reference for the Antisemitism Royal Commission to examine racism against First Peoples and other communities. Instead, they claimed vague “social cohesion” wording would cover everything. Now the Commissioner has made it clear the inquiry will not examine racism against First Peoples or other communities. The Government can no longer use this Royal Commission to deflect responsibility for tackling racism. Racism against First Peoples and Black and brown communities is rising. The Government must take direct, serious action. They can start by implementing the National Anti-Racism Strategy, which has sat untouched for over a year. It’s time to show our lives matter too. nit.com.au/24-02-2026/228…

@Ann19851873 @Hogan74837J @phil_aussie The Lakemba letter I am referring to was was widely published on news websites

@Hogan74837J @phil_aussie The one person they know will agitate. Wonder why?

Funny how Senator Thorpe has access to alleged threatening “letters” sent to Lakemba Mosque,..but the general public don’t. I didn’t know Lydia was a Detective? odd that an Australian Senator has such close ties with Islamic groups, and is privy to such sensitive “evidence” in an ongoing criminal investigation. Unless of course it’s all BS and propaganda being manufactured by Islamists and their high profile supporters 🤔

This week, when I saw the letters sent to Lakemba Mosque, I immediately knew that it was the same perpetrator. The same distinct handwriting, language and misspellings, and the same stamps made using a bullet dipped in ink.

My love is with the Lakemba community, and with First Peoples and black and brown people being targeted right now. We should not have to beg to be kept safe. We deserve better. I will not stop calling this out until this country treats white supremacist violence with the seriousness it demands.

People should be able to go to a mosque, to protest, to celebrate Ramadan, to live their lives without looking over their shoulder, and without the threat of white-supremacist violence.

Three years ago a series of racist threatening letters were sent to the Victorian Greens. They were covered in white supremacist hate, swastikas and explicit threats against my life and my family. They were reported to police. But as far as I know nothing came of it 🧵 abc.net.au/news/2026-02-2…
