  I think you’re forgetting how uniquely annoying she was being at the time, she quit the greens because she was voting no for the voice (now who’s the racist?) and relationship with biker gang ex-leader, never ending drama

        Not much. It’s a bit cold.

    Oh, did she also try to weaken gun laws so her son-in-law could import automatic shotguns? How about suggesting that we conscript 13 year old and give them all guns? Maybe run a campaign ad that depicted her shooting rival politicians dead? I’m not a fan of Lidia Thorpe, but I think you’re missing the point that the media routinely portrays Katters “antics” as that kooky old guy, but actively demonises Thorpe. They’re both bloody annoying and crazy, there’s just a narrative being pushed.

      he’s been in parliament for like 50 years, she’d been in for like 1

      if he acted like she did he also would have been blasted, same as bananaby joyce when he was the class nutter for a bit, same as pauline hanson when she was the class nutter for a while

      you can posit some conspiracy theory or from my experience crazy politicians who do a lot of crazy things in a short time period will draw attention (just like how we’re talking about katter now)
