In short:

Greens defector Dorinda Cox says her former party failed to address serious concerns she raised and enabled a "toxic" culture.

Senator Cox also denied any suggestions she has ever perpetrated bullying, despite a number of complaints from former staff that were reported last year.

What's next?

The senator says she is eager to now focus on getting tangible outcomes for First Nations people.

I think people on the hard left or hard racist are more likely to specifically feel angry when criticized because the specific association of "makes me uncomfortable = evil" is much more likely. In the left's case, they're in the child prodigy "I'm too smart to be emotional" camp. In the hard right's case it's because the possibility that their gut instinct should maybe be interrogated is unfathomable to them.

In other words I think both One Nation and the Greens are made up of people with low EQ.
