I sat down with ABC Radio National to remind this country to get used to Truth-Telling because I'm not going anywhere.
The UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls has backed in my bills to end shackling of people giving birth and children being strip searched.
The UN have condemned the Albanese government for blocking them.
The Prime Minister needs to step up and stop this violence.
This Labor government is happy to pat themselves on the back for signing up to UN agreements, but they do nothing to actually implement them. It’s just performative.

The President of the Senate has issued this apology admitting she got it wrong today.
I need to set the record straight, as there is commentary circulating online that I made a false claim today, which I didn't.
These figures I obtained through the racism inquiry are staggering. I'll be following up at Senate Estimates next month.
No more cops investigating cops.

Shackling of people who are giving birth must be banned once and for all.

Sign the open letter to support my Bill to ban the shackling of people giving birth nationwide:

Burke just announced visa overstayers will be put in detention.
I guess Albanese must have felt left out of the “lock them up” frenzy sweeping the country.
Labor are caving to Hanson, demonising migrants, and dragging this country towards an ICE-style system.
Shame on them.

Lidia Thorpe was brilliant on #afternoonbriefing 💃🏻👏🏼
Spoke graciously and lucidly on the effects of Pauline Hanson’s verbal attacks on First Nations people, on the PM and his mother, on the cohesion and harmony of society at large.

Senator Lidia Thorpe retweeted
Senator Lidia Thorpe has introduced bills to Federal Parliament to end two harmful practices in criminal legal systems across Australia: the strip searching of children and the shackling of people during childbirth.

I have just sent this letter to Channel 10.
No one should see violence against their children or community being celebrated or joked about.
These are two innocent children who were horrifically run down and injured by a grown man.
Channel 10 did nothing to stop false information and the celebration of violence from spreading on their Facebook page.
This is not ok!
An important visit to Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health and Community Services today, where we met Julie Tongs and the team. Real community controlled Aboriginal services deliver on the ground to our people. They are under-resourced, over worked, under staffed but still open each day to serve our people. Thanks for having me you mob, there's a lot of work to do and I am standing with you.
Today is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. On this day we are meant to be celebrating the achievements of First Peoples around the world. But for so many of us, our lives are spent resisting colonial powers.
I want to see a future where younger generations will be able to enjoy their Land without needing to fight profit-hungry governments and resource-thieving companies.
We are hearing from Kind Enterprises that racism itself never seems as offensive as the calling out of racism.
Marissa Williamson-Pohlman, the first Aboriginal woman to represent this country at the Olympics for boxing, says that institutions celebrate Blak excellence when it is convenient, but abandon us when it matters most.
Fitzroy Stars players were targeted by racist abuse during a game in February, but the Northern Football Netball League tribunal handed down a not guilty verdict. That is devastating to players and the community - there are no consequences for racist abuse.
