Aboriginal Senator Lidia Thorpe yelled at British King Charles III in the Australian Parliament Lidia Thorpe, an Australian senator from the Aboriginal community, wanted to confront British King Charles III today during his visit to the national parliament in Canberra.
“This is not your land. You are not my king. Give us back our land. Give us back what you stole from us! Our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people. You are not my king! You destroyed our land”, Thorpe yelled, dressed in traditional Aboriginal clothing.

Security had to intervene and prevent her from approaching the king, after which she was escorted out of the room so that Charles could continue talks with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Sky News reports that Thorpe is the first Aboriginal from the state of Victoria to become a senator, and when taking the oath in the Australian parliament, she refused to swear allegiance to the then British Queen Elizabeth II, Charles’ mother.
Prior to the incident with the king in parliament, she, along with about 20 other people, organized demonstrations while he was laying a wreath at a local memorial.
Charles was previously welcomed to Canberra by another Aboriginal official who told Australian media that she expected the British sovereign to apologize for the crimes of London committed during colonial rule, but that did not happen.
He only said that he “deeply” respects the welcome ceremony which gave him the opportunity to “pay tribute to the traditional owners of the land” he met with.
