Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe has interrupted King Charles' visit to Parliament House, calling out during proceedings in the Great Hall immediately after he finished his speech.
"There's unfinished business that we need to resolve before this country can become a republic. This must happen through treaty," she said."As First Peoples, we never ceded our sovereignty over this land. The Crown invaded this country, has not sought treaty with First Peoples, and committed a genocide of our people. King Charles is not the legitimate sovereign of these lands.
She made global headlines in 2022 after the last federal election when she tried to change her oath of allegiance while being sworn into the Senate.
