The Australian Senate has officially censured Senator Lidia Thorpe for her disruptive protest during King Charles’s visit to Canberra, where she shouted remarks opposing colonialism. The Senate vote, which passed 46-12, emphasized disapproval of her actions that challenged the King’s status. Thorpe, an Aboriginal senator, defended her actions as a demand for recognition of the historical injustices faced by Indigenous Australians. While her protest was met with criticism, it also garnered support from activists advocating for Indigenous rights.
