“Oh, cry me a river, Lidia,” Bill McDonald said on Brisbane Live. “What a disgrace to have someone like this for an elected member of federal parliament.

“She seems more interested in being a serial, professional protester pest than representing those who elected her and doing the greater good for the community. It’s pathetic.”
