As radical as the communist Australian Greens are, even their extremism isn\u2019t quite radical enough for black nationalist activist Lidia Thorpe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The woman who called Queen Elizabeth a coloniser and declared war on non-indigenous people on Australia Day sensationally quit the Greens this week, less than a year after she was elected as a Greens senator for Victoria, so she can pursue her \u2018black sovereignty\u2019 agenda without Adam Bandt holding her leash.

They just weren\u2019t doing it fast enough for Lidia Thorpe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
