Lydia Thorpe: Parliament lowers the dignity of a country. Here, judgments are taken in the interest of the country. The public elects its representatives and sends them here. This is the picture of democracy. Australia's Parliament is in shame at the moment. The tears of a woman MP are asking big questions. Crying in a packed parliament, Lydia Thorpe has accused of sexual harassment. Whenever he raised a special voice of crime, then he was silenced by intimidation. The crying picture of the female MP inside the Parliament remains a topic of discussion around the world today.

Australian MP Lydia Thorpe has alleged that she was sexually assaulted in Parliament. He said that it is not safe for women to work. She started crying after saying this. In his couplet, he said that he has got Gandhi Bond over him. They were dragged near a staircase and taken the wrong way. Thorpe has made allegations against Conservative David Van. However, Wan has dismissed these claims from Heritage. Van says he is broken because of the lie and is very upset. He told the local media that these are absolutely ludicrous allegations. However, the Liberal Party suspended Van from the party.

There are other victims like me

Thorpe said sexual harassment means different things to everyone. He said that I will tell what happened to me. I was forced I have been wrongly promoted. I dreaded the mornings when I left the office gate. Earlier I used to open the door a little. His details were told if anyone is there. I used to step out when I could see the way clearly. I was scared to such an extent that when I went inside the building, I took someone along with me. The victim MP said that I believe there are other victims like me but they never came forward because of their career.

Making an address in the Senate, independent lawmaker Lidia Thorpe said that sexual comments were passed on her, and she was cornered in a stairwell, inappropriately touched and propositioned by powerful men.

She accused a fellow senator of sexually assaulting her before she was forced to withdraw a remark under the threat of parliamentary sanction.

The lawmaker made allegations against conservative David Van who outrightly denied the charges and said he was shattered and battered by the accusation. However, following the alleged allegations, Van has been suspended.

While making her allegations, the independent lawmaker said, “What I experienced was being followed, aggressively propositioned and inappropriately touched.”

"I was afraid to walk out of the office door. I would open the door slightly and check the coast was clear before stepping out," she told lawmakers.

"It was to the degree that I had to be accompanied by someone whenever I walked inside this building," she added.

"I know there are others that have experienced similar things and have not come forward in the interests of their careers,” she added.
