“There’s a scar on the front of my neck from this. I was ordered by the doctor not to travel and could not attend parliament. My doctor told me to take time off work,” Senator Thorpe told SkyNews.com.au.“It’s unfortunate that I have been pushed to disclose this to defend myself, when I would have preferred to keep this private, but that’s just another day in the colony for you.”
This year, the Senator’s attendance improved slightly, attending 28 of 44 sitting days and voting in 222 out of 493 divisions. She was forcibly removed from the Great Hall after she screamed: “Give us back what you stole from us: our bones, our skulls, our people. You destroyed our land. Give us a treaty. We want a treaty in this country.”“You are not my King. You are not our King... F*** the colony. F*** the colony. F*** the colony.”
