Ben Fordham has criticised Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe calling her outburst in the Senate Estimates “embarrassing”.

“I’m not going to be told by a white Senator that I’m an Indigenous Australian,” Lidia Thorpe said when discussing buying rights to the Indigenous flag, “That is insulting.”

Ben says “she’s unhinged”.

“Senator Thorpe is the most toxic politician in Canberra.

“She never misses a moment to accuse someone of racism.

“If you hate the place so much … resign!”
