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)
