Former Green senator Lidia Thorpe injured in car accident in Melbourne

by

Former Greens senator Lidia Thorpe has been injured in a car accident and is expected to be absent from parliament for a week.

Ms Thorpe had been sitting in her car when she was rear-ended by another vehicle in Melbourne.

The incident, which occurred late last week, allegedly caused Ms Thorpe to suffer whiplash and bruising.

Ms Thorpe was told by her doctor not to travel to Canberra for at least one week following the midwinter break.

Ms Thorpe’s media team declined to make a statement about the accident but confirmed the details of the crash.

They said the car was stationary at the time and confirmed that Ms Thorpe was expected to return to parliament next week.

The former Green has garnered national attention in recent months due to her outspoken opposition to the Voice and claims of assault.
