International media have labelled Senator Lidia Thorpe’s disruption of a parliamentary reception for King Charles “jarring” and “painful”, as Thorpe herself appeared on UK television to discuss the incident.Thorpe started yelling out soon after the King concluded his speech, yelling “You are not our king. You are not sovereign,” and accusing him of being complicit in genocide.
“It’s doable, and if that’s what the people want, we should deliver it,” he said.TheWashington Post reports that the incident threatened to “revive the contentious debate Down Under” that surrounded the death of the Queen.“Australia is one of the few settler-colonised Commonwealth nations that doesn’t have a treaty with its First Nations people,” the report said.
