Voting Greens gets you ‘the extreme’: Birmingham
Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe is representative of an undercurrent in her party that is not widely reflected or known across Australia, Shadow Foreign Minister Simon Birmingham says.
Lidia Thorpe resigned as the Greens deputy Senate leader after revelations she had an undisclosed relationship with a former president of a bikie gang while serving on a Parliamentary law enforcement committee.
“This is an example that if you vote Greens, you get extreme,” Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia.
“That is really a cause for many Australians I think to need to reconsider the way they see and view the Australian greens.”
