Social media video shows senator laying in front of police float, temporarily blocking Saturday night parade
The Nationals leader, David Littleproud, criticised the senator’s behaviour at the parade saying, “Lidia, please, it’s not always about you.”
Littleproud, on Channel Nine’s Today, was asked why the leaders of the former Coalition government didn’t march in the parade during their time in office.“Well, I didn’t get an invitation – as leader of the Nationals, didn’t get an invite – but good on him,” Littleproud replied.“The only thing I would say that was sad is that Lidia Thorpe had to make a protest and make a scene. This wasn’t about her last night,” he said.
