An Australian mental health professional has sparked uproar with a series of TikTok videos where she makes light of Charlie Kirk’s violent death, including describing his head as a ‘human water fountain’.
Melbourne writer and poet Lizzy Page, who says she writes policy that ‘honours dignity in mental healthcare’, has recorded a video series taking aim at Kirk in the wake of the Trump ally’s assassination last week in Utah.
In pieces to camera, her hair styled in a distinctive multi-coloured quiff, Page claims that it is OK to laugh or make fun of Kirk’s death.
‘It is not wrong or unethical or unkind to laugh at the misfortunes of terrible people. Charlie Kirk incited violence, that’s what he did, then that came back to haunt him,’ Page said.
‘That was his decision,’ she said. ‘It’s got nothing to do with the people laughing and joking about him becoming a human water fountain.
‘Let’s never forget that Charlie Kirk used his whole head to defend your Second Amendment right to own guns.’
Those comments appeared to refer ‘to the blood spilling from his neck when he was brutally murdered in front of thousands’, Australian Senator Ralph Babet remarked on X, while condemning Page’s ‘unhinged’ TikTok compilation.
Page – who claims on TikTok that she stands for ‘justice’ – suggested the shooting death of the 31-year-old MAGA activist and father-of-two was somehow legitimate and that he was ‘an abuser’.

The Melbourne woman said: ‘It is not wrong or unethical or unkind to laugh at the misfortunes of terrible people. Charlie Kirk incited violence, that’s what he did, then that came back to haunt him’
Lizzy Page, a ‘writer and poet’ said in one video: ‘Let’s never forget that Charlie Kirk used his whole head to defend your Second Amendment right to own guns’
‘This wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t been so abusive out in public,’ she says. This wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t continued to abuse people the way that he did.’
In one confused TikTok video, Page adds that ‘and for those people trying to say that his position as a father or his children are somehow an excuse … no, he was advocating for what was by definition in the United States child abuse.’
She did not state exactly what she was referring to.
The videos sparked furious debate on her TikTok page, with commenters blasting Page, demanding she ‘give an example of Charlie inciting violence’ and one saying, ‘it is NEVER okay to laugh at the death of a human being’.
Senator Babet went further, posting one of Page’s videos on X, and saying: ‘This is beyond disturbing. People like this are dangerous.’
Babet pointed out that on Linkedin, Page claimed to have worked at the Victorian Mental Illness Awareness Council (VMIAC) and asked, ‘is this really the kind of person who should be representing a mental health organisation?
‘I urge you to contact her employer and voice your concern, I’ll be doing the same.’
The Melbourne health care worker made a muddled argument on her TikTok videos that just because Kirk (pictured with his wife Erika and their two children) was a father didn’t mean his violent death wasn’t justified
Despite saying she works to ‘protect the dignity of suffering’, Lizzy Page (right) claims that the alleged shooting by suspect Tyler Robinson (left) said she only felt empathy for Kirk’s ‘victims’ – although it was not clear who she was referring to
In one bizarre video, Page states that, ‘Pretending that you don’t enjoy a terrible person’s death is not dignified, it’s cowardly … the only people I have any empathy for in the Charlie Kirk situation are his victims.’
Page’s Linkedin profile suggest she worked at the VMIAC until June last year, and said that she works to ‘protect the dignity of suffering’.
In reply to her videos, one female child protection worker posted a scathing response on Page’s Linkedin that Kirk ‘was exercising his free speech and was murdered for it.
‘Yes human reactions are valid but you cannot now be upset that people have feelings around your callous, insensitive comments.
‘I was no fan of Mr Kirk but neither am I making videos for clicks and making such inappropriate comments.
‘As a mental health “professional”, I would think you would support people to express emotions but maintain empathy and dignity.
‘You have your own consequences to deal with now.’
Accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22, is in custody in Utah for the alleged shooting after surrendering to police and is expected to be formally charged on Tuesday.
The Daily Mail has contacted both Lizzy Page and the Victorian Mental Illness Awareness Council for comment.
