I wouldn’t call her a millionaire… Far from it, more than anything a loud mouth airhead that only wants to attract attention, especially on social media !!!
Self-drama is the center of Tik Tok consciousness, like the protesters at Columbia who, when they got hungry, rather than passing the hat and making some sandwiches for themselves, issued a press release requesting humanitarian assistance.
I am glad you called Nikki Gemmell out, she plays the gender victim card to such a point it is very tiring and I wonder why the Australian still employ her.
I always say that I'd be happy to give up everything to them as long as all traces of western development are destroyed and the land reduced to, well, just land. That of course is not what the likes of Thorpe want - they want to keep all of the benefits they've accrued due to the western lifestyle while attaining yet further power and wealth, all while humiliating those they do not like.
I spent quite some years associating with the radical protest people in Australia. My conclusion was that many stunts are performed not only for media attention but it seems more to gain kudos with their peers and to be held in high esteem by similarly disgruntled and often socially dysfunctional “ revolutionaries”. I think your assessment here is spot on. I have often pondered how insightful the Beatles song Revolution is in regards to this.
@@petesmittI never knew anyone who made money out of it, as a matter if fact they prided themselves by disengaging from capitalist society and not besmirching themselves with filthy lucre!

@@martindavis1913 Oh please. Show me one that doesn't have a smart-phone, or go on overseas holidays on a yearly basis. They LOVE the fruits capitalism, and just pretend they don't. And it gets more pronounced the further up the ranks you go. The uni-kids who are freshly indoctrinated might not like money, but the adults who brain wash them all sip champagne in their ivory towers. Lidia would be rolling in capitalist money like ScroogeMcDuck, and only faking she has a problem with it to naïve new recruits.
When someone’s existence is evidence to the contrary of their own thesis (that Australia is a ‘racist’ country) you’re dealing with somebody who is impervious to evidence. Any attention paid to her is a fools errand.
She has no fn idea. Her life in traditional Aboriginal society would have been a whole lot worse. Just look at how Aboriginal women are treated in places where traditional culture and language operates. Rates of dv 8 times higher
The verdict is in about the word “gender”. It’s not applicable to humans, it’s a construct for language, for example, in German objects are masculine or feminine.
When did HomoSapians first cross the land-bridge to Australia? And when did Homo-Floresiensis die out? Suspicious timing. Seems like some conquering might have occurred there.
Excellent report, Ms Booth. So succinct it was over before the thought of multitasking even crossed my mind. Very sad what some trollop like that could get way with doing to offend HM The King without being hanged or otherwise executed. Especially sad since he has had to wait so long for his ascension to the throne. Now he's got enough health problems to worry about, he'd probably rather find his way out of the public eye if he only could, but with typical English stoicism he dutifully carries on in quiet desperation and all that. You've made me see that in some ways, what those uncouth narcissists are really saying when they jump on the next bandwagon they can find is, "I'm not human", because the rest of us seem to get along fairly well most of the time by just being human, like everyone else, but there's ample opportunity to quietly diversify into many different individual channels within those human parameters without making pointless trouble.
So Ukraine will soon be Russian and Taiwan Chinese and neither should bother resisting that. I think there is a middle ground here - that it is quite reasonable to resist a conqueror and to even fight a rebellion to undo the conquest but at some point the facts on the ground, asymmetries of power, and course of assimilative history if the conqueror relents on outright oppression might start making resistance generations on look ridiculous. Conquerors don't usually justify their conquest through such realism but with moral argument and some, like Israel, pretend there was no conquest and that any resistance was racist and wrong even at the time of the conquest.
The British did not conquer the land - they settled it. The hundreds of various Aboriginal Tribes that also co-inhabited the Land transpired to be beneficiaries. All Aboriginals today have better access to education, medicines and the fruits of the Land which they never discovered themselves.
@@BigStar1972 Australia became independent in 1901, so it's no longer a British colony; as for Israel, the UN gave the land to Jews to have their own state, so where's the conquest there? try to come up with a facts based argument to support your hate speech..
Ooohhh no !! Believe me she does !! She knows very well what she’s doing… And it is all for her fame - she thinks- and gain of course !! Anybody else would have resigned by now … she still holding her “shaking ground” because she’s gaining from all this !!
@@NeVs-cb1ocshe’s gaining short term materialism, what she doesn’t know is she is making other people suffer and she will suffer for this too, this type of person is self destructive but won’t stop even when their actions are ruining their lives
Its attention seeking screeching banSHEe behaviour. Comes across as unhinged ranting. She needs to use some of her intelligence to support her feelings to get them across. Not this hysteria . Very rude behaviour.
The lack of self-awareness and hypocrisy from Lidia would be staggering if I expected her to be capable of any self-reflection or critical thought. Everything that you see in Australia was built in the last 236 years. All of it. Including the diversity of cultures all around us. Why doesn't she protest by living off the land and rejecting Westernisation if that's how she really feels? Or she could move to Alice Springs to be surrounded by her people in their communities and affect real change there. Not a chance because she wants all of the privileges and advantages of colonisation but also wants to cry victim
People with personality disorders are attracted to political careers and acting. Trying to make up for something. This is a situation of our own creation.
Thorpe is a hystrionic. It's a personality disorder very similar to narcissism. The feminist movement is dominated by these two disorders, especially the antagonistic varieties. The writers who make this about gender are similarly disordered.
It's the Toxic Matriarchy. They see people as infants, protectors of infants and threats. The aboriginals are all infants and she virtue signals as their protector.
So the best that Nikki can do as far as critiquing LT's statements and media reaction is "she's a woman". Social media has ruined journalism as clearly Nikki was attempting to inflame the issue too get hits rather than why LT made the statement, what is her goal(s) and was the msm right in attacking what she did....
Well said. If the English had not colonised the country, some other country would have, how do you think the Spanish would have treated the place? Had a close look at Mexico lately? Or even more interesting, if genocide if your idea of fun, the imperial Japanese of WW2. If the English did not colonise the country, there would be no Lidia Thorpe. There is an upside to everything.
I think that arguing for the lesser of two evils is kind of moot when it comes to atrocities like genocide. It's effectively telling people who lost their land and most of their culture that "it could have been worse." I wouldn't expect that sentiment to provide much comfort.
She is happy to take this money and all the privileges.She is suche a embarassment.Should not be in Parliament if she does not understand English language.
These genius activists would not exist unless the past unfolded as it did. Wishing they could have their wish and vanish is the definition of true tragedy
The narcissists love it coz its a grade gas lighting. As for King Charles? Well he would claim to support Thorpe's cause so he should held to account for that. I've no issue there.
I am always gobsmacked at the flagrant racism proudly and almost cartoonishly exhibited by Austtalians. Lidia Thorpe is a hero and on the righf side of history. She has alerted many people around the world to your racism and the world is watching.
she’s a first world millionaire. she’s a politician. she is the 1%.
A disgrace. Played the system..Not representative of Australian Aboriginals...
I wouldn’t call her a millionaire…

All elite victimization is a simulated performance of lack, inequality &or trauma; enough!
I am glad you called Nikki Gemmell out, she plays the gender victim card to such a point it is very tiring and I wonder why the Australian still employ her.
I also wonder this. Nikki Gemmell is a drama queen who needs to lose her Australian position.
Oh, she's 51??? Rather hilarious that she's carrying on like this at her BIG age. Her dad seems like an alright bloke. Poor guy!
Dads an alright bloke. Mum is a Greenie advocate. Need I say more
I suggest that both Nikki Gemmell and Lidia Thorpe try living in Papua New Guinea for a month.
Indeed. My seven years there gave me insight into human nature in many ways. Women do not thrive. They get the rough end of the pineapple.
...without security lol
Remote NT community
They wouldn't survive long.
If her land was destroyed, I guess she would like to swap her comfortable life in the inner city for a grass hut and living off the land.
I always say that I'd be happy to give up everything to them as long as all traces of western development are destroyed and the land reduced to, well, just land. That of course is not what the likes of Thorpe want - they want to keep all of the benefits they've accrued due to the western lifestyle while attaining yet further power and wealth, all while humiliating those they do not like.

She wouldnt even exist if it wasnt for colonisation. Her father is English/Irish
She wouldn't have had her modern clothing or her cherished stilettos.
Statistically speaking by her age she would be dead by now
Narcissists need to be centre of attention. Even if they make a complete moron of themselves.
Is she complaining about what happened in her ancestral country of Scotland?
I was about to say this is just old white politics (celt vs Anglo-Saxon).
Was it ever about gender? Was always about race I thought.
The verdict is in about the word “gender”.
It’s not applicable to humans, it’s a construct for language, for example, in German objects are masculine or feminine.
Whatever victim-card is most popular this week.
She definitely doesn't care that she's a woman. I recall she attacked that speaker who was promoting women's rights.
Every people, throughout history, have been conquerors or conquered. It is not unique to Aboriginals. Stop blaming the past and stand up.
it is the reason why iEurope s being invaded, pay back i guess
Someone reads books!!!

Land belongs to those that conquered it. Simple brutal fact of humanity.
