Senator Lidia Thorpe Ejected After Accusing King Charles of 'Genocide' in Parliament
Oct 21, 2024, 05:06 AM
During King Charles III and Queen Camilla's visit to Australia's Parliament House in Canberra, Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe, wearing traditional clothing, disrupted an official reception by shouting anti-monarchist slogans, including 'You are not my King,' 'This is not your land,' 'Give us our land back,' and 'F*** the colony.' The senator was escorted out by security officers after interrupting the King's speech. Thorpe accused the monarch of 'genocide' against Indigenous people, stating 'You destroyed our land' and 'You committed genocide against our people.' Queen Camilla was present during the incident. Earlier, Thorpe was involved in a scuffle with police officers during an anti-royals protest in Canberra. The incident highlights Thorpe's ongoing activism for Indigenous rights and opposition to the monarchy.
