Senator Thorpe Challenges Systemic Racism

A fiery Senate hearing exposed deep tensions as First Nations Senator Thorpe confronted officials over systemic racism and the government’s failure to protect her from daily online death threats. Amid heated exchanges, the Assistant Secretary for First Nations Justice Branch denied being racist, while Thorpe accused her of complicity in institutional racism. The two-year delay in accessing Meta to investigate threats underscored the urgency, as Thorpe revealed she receives a new threat every day — a chilling reality for those on the frontlines of justice reform. Despite the clash, officials acknowledged racism exists across systems and pledged to combat it — but for Thorpe, the stakes are personal, and the clock is ticking.
