Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe has been officially censured by the Senate for shouting during King Charles’ address in Canberra. Her protests, aimed at highlighting the impacts of British colonization on Indigenous peoples, have sparked a divide among lawmakers and community leaders. While some praised her actions, others condemned them as disrespectful. Despite her protest, King Charles received a warm reception from the public during his tour. Thorpe, a prominent Indigenous activist, previously faced criticism for her remarks during her swearing-in ceremony in 2022.
