Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe has received backlash from colleagues for her outspoken protest during King Charles’ recent visit to Canberra. Thorpe declared ‘you are not my king’ and criticized the British monarchy’s historical actions against Indigenous Australians. A majority of the Senate passed a motion of censure against her, which, while politically significant, carries no legal consequences. Thorpe insists she would repeat her protest if the King returns, emphasizing her call for Australia to sever ties with the British monarchy.
