What Neil Mitchell wants to happen following Lidia Thorpe’s ‘silly’ Parliament House statement

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.

“You’ll hate this, but I quite enjoy the debate that she can add to parliament at times.”
