This is Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe . SCARY. A parliamentary investigation into senator Lidia Thorpe’s undisclosed Relationship with former motorcycle gang leader Dean Martin has cleared her of Contempt of parliament.

On 27 November 2024, Thorpe was suspended from the Senate for the remainder of that sitting year for “disorderly conduct” following a confrontation with One Nation’s Pauline Hanson after Hanson questioned the eligibility of Fatima Payman to sit in parliament under foreign citizenship requirements.

In October last year, the ABC revealed former staffers in Senator Thorpe’s office were concerned about her undisclosed relationship with the former president of the Rebels motorcycle gang while she was also sitting on the joint parliamentary law enforcement committee.
