If I got up and ranted and raved at a work event, I'd be looking for a new job. Instead, they pander to morons like that in the name of free speech. She is a disruptive troublemaker who will go through her working life (paid by you and I) and achieve zero. She is dead set taking the piss.
Personally, I think if a Senator decides they do not wish to belong to the party on whose ticket they got elected, they should resign and allow the party in question to nominate a replacement.
There have been a few good independent Senators (think Brian Harradine, Nick Xenophon), but they were elected under their own banner.
I bet the Greens regret the day they put Lidia onto their ticket......
