Senator Thorpe strode up the central aisle of the Great Hall of Parliament House wearing a possum cloak after the King’s address to the reception to tell him she did not accept his sovereignty.
A protest over Indigenous rights has disrupted a parliamentary reception for King Charles III and Queen Camilla after Victorian independent senator Lidia Thorpe told the monarch he was not her king.
King Charles turned to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and talked quietly on the podium of the Great Hall as security moved to prevent Senator Thorpe approaching the monarch. The King and Albanese led the official party into the hall, while Queen Camilla was accompanied by Haydon. The procession included the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Milton Dick, and the President of the Senate, Sue Lines.
