Lidia Thorpe shouted at the King after he finished his speech during his reception in Australia’s parliament. She told the BBC afterwards: “To be sovereign you have to be of the land. He is not of this land.” She said the King needed to instruct the Parliament to discuss a peace treaty with the first peoples.

Senator Lidia Thorpe told the monarch “you are not my king” and demanded a treaty between Australia ‘s First Nations and its government on Monday. Ms Thorpe, an Indigenous woman from Victoria, has long advocated for a treaty between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians to recognise their autonomy and set right historical wrongs.

Entertainment reporter Peter Ford has doubled down on his criticism of Lidia Thorpe, after labelling the Indigenous Senator a 'skank' not once, but twice following her interruption at a reception for King Charles and Queen Camilla on Monday. Picture: X

This is the moment senator Lidia Thorpe heckles King Charles during a reception in Australia’s parliament. The monarch had just finished addressing lawmakers in Canberra on Monday when Ms Thorpe shouted “This is not your land.

Senator Ralph Babet took to social media to condemn Ms Thorpe’s comments, in which she told Charles “you are not my King,” and accused him of committing “genocide against our people”. He wrote on X: “I condemn in the strongest possible terms the actions of Senator Lidia Thorpe today at Parliament House where she hurled verbal abuse at our King.

“Senator Thorpe demanded an apology from King Charles, I’d say it’s King Charles and the Australian people that should be demanding an apology from Senator Thorpe.”
