Senator Lidia Thorpe has not ruled out establishing a new political party, describing the Blak sovereignty movement as her “new party room” and promising to be guided by activists and elders.
Three days after quitting the Greens citing the need not to be “constrained” by party positions, Thorpe told Guardian Australia on Thursday it “wasn’t so much a constraint, it was more the fact that we needed a Blak sovereign movement in this country” that motivated her to sit as an independent.
