        If she is so offended by the first fleet why is she not living in an aboriginal community under their culture? Why is she instead a member of a british style parliament with a british style career? The Greens are truly stupid.

        Message to white supremacists threatening violence against MP for exercising her right to free speech - you know free speech is an Australian value? Lidia Thorpe won't be silenced - and no other Australian will be silenced - in supporting changing the date of Australia Day...pic.twitter.com/73m0uFMTuJ

        No one invaded Australia on 26th January , 11 ships , starving convicts &!sailors , aboutet 1400 men , women & children landed here . There was no invasion because there was no Nation to be invaded ! Get over it ! Move on !

        When Australia was invaded by the British on 26 January 1788 - there were over 500 Aboriginal nations - many with their own unique cultures and languages. Terra nullius is a myth that has been totally discredited.pic.twitter.com/2dheobObrW
