Neil Mitchell has weighed in on independent senator Lidia Thorpe’s “silly” statement at a pro-Palestine protest in the CBD on the weekend.

Thorpe stated “if I have to burn down Parliament House to make a point” at the protest, and the former 3AW Mornings host has had his say on Thorpe’s behaviour.

“I don’t think she should be charged,” Mitchell said on 3AW Afternoons.
