Lidia Thorpe’s dad says she’s racist against whites as she hits back after incident outside strip club
Firebrand senator Lidia Thorpe’s estranged father has given an extraordinary interview, where he says his proudly Indigenous daughter is “a very racist person”.
Roy Illingworth has told Andrew Bolt on his Sky News program
he’s “disappointed” by how his controversial daughter had abandoned her English and Irish roots.“The way I see it, the way she is and the way she’s changed over the years, she’s a very racist person against white people,” Mr Illingworth told The Bolt Report on Thursday night.
“She doesn’t acknowledge any of her white side. I’m a bit disappointed in the way she’s been carrying on lately.
“Because after all, she does have English background as well as Irish, the convict side.
“She’s never, ever mentioned me in her speeches; never mentioned anything about a white father, which disappointed me a little bit.”
Mr Illingworth acknowledged the pair had fallen out, even though she rings him for Father’s Day and his birthday. But said he had no contact with her children.
“She’s said a lot of bad and evil things to me over the years,” he said.
“We still love each other and at the end of the day she’s still my daughter.”
He said her claims she’d always been oppressed were wrong.
“She was really spoilt. She never went without anything growing up. She got everything she wanted and she knows that.”He said she became politicised at 16 or 17, and “turned racist” as she ran to become a politician.
