England’s King Charles III was protested in parliament during his second day of the Australia visit. Aboriginal senator Lidia Thorpe shouted, “You are not my king. This is not your land,” in response to the king. The king’s encounter with this protest reignited ongoing debates about indigenous rights in Australia. King Charles III was met with an independent senator’s protest of “You are not my king” immediately after his speech in parliament on the second day of his official visit to Australia. During his speech in parliament, an Aboriginal senator yelled, “You are not my king. This is not your land,” to show their discontent. Senator Lidia Thorpe directly addressed King Charles, shouting, “You are a genocidaire, you destroyed our lands.” The protest against King Charles’ first visit to Australia as a monarch drew attention.Security officers escorted the senator out of the room, who had also turned away from the screen showing the national anthem and welcoming images at the beginning of the ceremony. Thorpe, an Aboriginal independent senator, has long been advocating for an agreement to be made between the government and indigenous peoples. Australia stands out as the only former British colony without such an agreement. The indigenous people claim they have never ceded their lands and sovereignty to the British monarchy. Australia is a member of the Commonwealth where the King serves as the head of state.Prior to the meeting, the indigenous senator had released a statement calling for Australia to become a republic. The ceremony later concluded without any reference to the incident, and the King and Queen of England went outside to meet the waiting crowd.
