Outspoken independent senator Lidia Thorpe is set to file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission, alleging she experienced institutional racism during her time with the Greens.
She stated that her legal counsel had deemed her case valid, indicating “sufficient grounds for a case”.
Thorpe, who stepped away from the Greens to support the “Blak sovereign movement”, recounted her experiences on ABC’s Insiders programme, stating that racism has been a pervasive presence throughout her life, including her time with the Greens.
