During King Charles III's visit to Australia, Indigenous Senator Lidia Thorpe interrupted a parliamentary session, vocally opposing the monarchy and demanding the return of land and a treaty with Australia's First Nations people. Senator Thorpe, known for her strong stance on Indigenous rights, accused the Crown of committing genocide and criticized the lack of a treaty with Indigenous Australians. Her protest highlighted ongoing tensions regarding colonial history and the monarchy's role in Australia. King Charles, who was on his first tour of Australia as monarch, acknowledged Australia's First Nations in his speech but did not address Thorpe's demands directly. The incident underscores the complex relationship between Australia's Indigenous communities and the British monarchy, as well as the broader debate about Australia's constitutional status.
