Parliament should match ‘standards’ of strip clubs by banning Thorpe: MacphersonSky News host James Macpherson questions whether Lidia Thorpe should be banned from Parliament after the Independent Senator received a lifetime ban from a Melbourne strip club. “Shouldn’t the Australian parliament at least try to match the standards of suburban strip joints … Lidia Thorpe’s behaviour now precludes her from entering a venue where women strip naked on a poll but is not so bad that she’s precluded from sitting in federal parliament deciding public policy,” Mr Macpherson said. “To say Senator Thorpe is familiar with controversy is a little bit like saying Jimi Henderix is familiar with the guitar. “If people are trying to drag down Senator Thorpe they are utilising her own behaviour. “When even a strip club decides your conduct is unbecoming, you’re already at the bottom.”

‘The left was salivating over Fox lawsuit’: Megyn Kelly breaks down Dominion settlementSky News Australia contributor Megyn Kelly says the left was “salivating” to see Fox News “go down” after Fox reached a settlement over defamation claims made by company Dominion Voting Systems.
