Lidia Thorpe's Canberra Posie Parker protest labelled 'pathetic' by Liberal ... trends now
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has unleashed a scathing tirade at Lidia Thorpe labelling the rogue Senator's scuffle with police 'a pathetic display'.
The Greens defector attempted to interrupt a Canberra rally by controversial 'women's rights' activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull - who goes by the alias Posie Parker - and was pulled to the ground by AFP officers in a dramatic moment captured on video.
Senator Thorpe then crawled along the grass before joining a 'pro-trans' counter-protest group.
Mr Dutton said Senator Thorpe's actions were 'shameful'.
'The Australian Federal Police should not have to waste their resources in dealing with stunts from Senator Thorpe,' he said on Thursday.
'It was a pathetic display and she should be embarrassed at her behaviour.'

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus also weighed in on the incident saying the footage showing Senator Thorpe refusing to be picked up by police before moving away on hands and knees was 'concerning'.
'I have sought urgent advice from the Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police,' Mr Dreyfus said.
Footage shows how Senator Thorpe was shoved away as she charged towards Ms Keen-Minshull, who was addressing about 30 people at the Let Women Speak rally outside Parliament House.
Senator Thorpe, who was draped in an Aboriginal flag, yelled before darting towards the platform before the police stopped her.
The independent 'black sovereignty' movement senator later claimed she was 'pulverised' by police and said Ms Keen-Minshull - who she referred to as 'filth' - should not be allowed to speak on Aboriginal land.
Ms Keen-Minshull has been touring Australia with rallies held in Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart - sparking ferocious counter demonstrations by pro-LGBTQI activists.

As the rain bore down on Canberra, hundreds of anti-Posie protesters flocked to Ms Keen-Minshull's 'pro women' rally, separated on the lawns of Parliament House by two dozen police officers.
Attendees antagonised pro-trans demonstrators by holding signs which read 'tomboys are not boys', 'protest the innocence of children' and 'libraries are for books, not perversion'.
On the other side, slogans included 'bigots in the bin', 'f*** off Posie, f**k off' and 'you've got Nazis on your side'.
After Ms Thorpe's attempted disruption of Keen-Minshull's speech - reminiscent of her laying down in front of a float at Mardi Gras last month - the former Greens Senator blasted the decision to let the controversial speaker into the country.
'We do not tolerate this kind of filth being on Ngunnawal and Ngambri country, let alone the Nazi support that these people have,' she said.
'They are racist, they are homophobic, they are destroying people's lives. This country should be ashamed that they even let people like this into this country.
