Lidia Thorpes methods are the complete opposite of King's. Maybe she should take a leaf from that playbook.

(Oh...and King...well that's my generation)  

Perhaps my earlier post lacked clarity. Whether Thorpe's methods are same or different to MLK is not really the point. MLK was the most hated man in America when he died, and the consensus position among surveyed Americans is that he was divisive and his methods counterproductive to the Negro cause, which is where the comparison to Thorpe comes in, or Adam Goodes for that matter.

Do you really think history will judge Lidia Thorpe as Australia's equivalent of  MLK?

King was a leader of people. Thorpe seems to be only interested in her own profile.
