The Indigenous Australian Senator Lydia Thorpe has been the protagonist of a new transphobic incident in the country. The events have happened at the gates of the Australian Parliament, in Canberra, where the well-known British activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull gave a transphobic speech.

The senator arrived hoisting an aboriginal flag and shouting “you are not welcome” to try to prevent her speech. But she immediately ran into the security guards who tried to stop her until they the police have made a violent tackle and has thrown her to the ground.

Thorpe, who claims to have been “pulverized” by the agents, resists being immobilized and tries to get free by crawling on the ground. In the end, she manages to reach the counter-demonstration of the LGTBI community and appears really angry before the media: “They are racist, homophobic. They are destroying people’s lives and this country should be ashamed,” she denounced before the media.

Shortly after, the senator has returned to Parliament in search of medical attention. While the transphobic activist has cheered her own and she has made fun of politics on social networks writing: “You shouldn’t have knelt down. I’m not royalty.”

Australia’s attorney general’s office calls the incident worrying and has asked the police for official explanationswhich has opened an internal investigation.
