UK’s King Charles faced a public confrontation during his inaugural visit to Australia, as Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe accused the British Crown of genocide and demanded a treaty.
The incident occurred during a speech at Parliament House in Canberra, a key moment in the monarch’s five-day visit with Queen Camilla.
As Charles concluded his address to members of parliament and senators, Thorpe approached the stage, shouting, “This is not your country! You committed genocide against our people. Give us our land back. Give us what you stole from us – our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people.” The independent senator from Victoria, known for her outspoken advocacy for Indigenous rights, called the monarch a "genocidalist" and demanded, "We want a treaty."
Security escorted Thorpe out of the Great Hall, where she continued shouting, "This is not your land. You are not my king." Dressed in a traditional possum skin cloak, Thorpe was later heard yelling, “Fuck the colony” as she was ushered into the foyer.
