It looks like the latest form of protest, and Lidia Thorpe is its master

Is taking offence the new form of protest? If so, then Senator Lidia Thorpe, the Green-turned-independent whose disruptions of parliament have become commonplace, could teach a masterclass in it. Under Thorpe's model, the more performative the offence-taking, the better the protest.
The article from The Age discusses Senator Lidia Thorpe's unique form of protest in the Australian Parliament, where she has been staging a sit-in on the Senate floor. This act of defiance is part of her broader campaign against the government's policies, particularly those affecting Indigenous rights and environmental issues. Thorpe's protest has drawn significant attention, with some viewing it as a powerful statement against systemic issues, while others criticize it as disruptive. The article highlights the tension between traditional parliamentary decorum and the evolving nature of political activism, with Thorpe emerging as a central figure in this dynamic. Her actions are seen as both a literal and metaphorical stand against what she perceives as injustices, sparking debates on the effectiveness and appropriateness of such protest methods within the political sphere.
