Will Lidia Thorpe be the first Aboriginal person in the Victorian Parliament?

In this Earth Matters episode we take you inside Lidia Thorpe's official Greens campaign launch held in Thornbury, Melbourne ahead of the 18th November Northcote by-election.

Deadly strong Gunnai Gunditjmara woman Lidia Thorpe is hoping to create real change and make history for the very first time by being the first Aboriginal woman elected to the Victorian Parliament.

The electorate of Northccote is a safe Labour held seat and was first contested back in 1927 and since then has been won by the Labour party each year. If elected, Lidia Thorpe is set to make Australian history by being the first Aboriginal woman to sit in the Victorian Parliament.
