The father of independent Senator Lidia Thorpe has unleashed on his daughter in an exclusive interview with Sky News Australia, claiming she is a “very racist person” whose power has “gone to her head”.
Roy Illingworth made the shock revelations in an exclusive interview with Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt which will air on Foxtel from 7pm on Thursday.
“She doesn’t acknowledge any of her white side. I’m a bit disappointed in the way she’s been carrying on lately. The shocking revelations come after the Victorian Senator, whose grandmother was involved in establishing the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, engaged in a fiery clash with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
“I think that that level of behaviour is quite clearly unacceptable and I think there are obvious issues that need to be dealt with in terms of her health issues,” he said.
