New senator joins Liberal
Feb 2^nd, 2018 at 7:34pm

Senate crossbencher Lucy Gichuhi joins the Turnbull government in shock numbers manoeuvre

Former Family First senator Lucy Gichuhi has defected from the crossbench to join Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's government.

The Kenyan-born lawyer had been voting as an independent following the dissolution of her previous party but will now sit as a fully-fledged Liberal Party senator for South Australia.

Have sent this email to her under the title 'Your decision.'

Quote:

Yours to make and mine to condemn. I am a retired Queensland lawyer so I will have no influence over your future. However, I am appalled to see you aligning yourself with a mob who could not care less about dealing with refugees/asylum seekers equitably and who go out of their way to shaft them as has now been disclosed and confirmed in the ABC's 'Cabinet Files' story.

Cheers.

Despite having grown up in rural Kenya, Gichuhi says that the concept of poverty never entered her mind, and she is firmly against government handouts as she believes "they create victims and nobody wins".[2] She said her Christian faith was the backbone of her political beliefs, but strongly supports freedom of religion.[2]

I'd bet she didn't get where she is without a few handouts.

The left hates it when anyone who isn't a minority or female disagrees with their point of view. Look at the disgusting vitriol levelled against great Australians like Jacinta Price and Warren Mundine.

Greens aren't labs.
