'This is not your land': Senator Lidia Thorpe shouts at King Charles in Australian parliament

A senator has confronted the King in Australia's parliament, shouting: "This is not your land. You are not my King".

Lidia Thorpe strode up the aisle yelling: "Give us our land back. Give us what you stole from us! Our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people. You destroyed our land. Give us a treaty!"

Security stopped her getting close and ushered her out of the chamber as the King turned to talk to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

For anyone outside of Australia who is lucky enough to have never seen this woman before, this is the same Senator who has previously affiliated with outlaw motorcycle gangs and resigned from the most left-leaning party in the country because it wasn't black enough. Truly one of the politicians of all time.

She forgets she half British and Irish/ part aboriginal....
She's a total fool and a disgrace....

[TTTTTT-ixtu]

What a waste of taxpayer funds - who voted her in? Attention seeking madness.

[davidadiwego]

She ain't doing it for aboriginal people. She's doing it for herself. It's her grift

[stevewiles]

If this part British person wants to stand true to her beliefs, then she should refuse to take the kings colonial coin for her position in the government that would not exists without the colony being settled.

Lidia Thorpe has embarrassed herself and her country with her hysterical outburst.That's not the way politics is done.Also accusing King Charles of things he hasn't done and defaming him is more Harry and Meghan style, and look how unpopular that having got them.

As an English man I don't feel embarrassed by our king...can Lydia thorpe's supporters say they're proud of how she carries herself lol?

[lynetteharcus]

This woman represents the tiniest demographic.
God save the King!!!!

Australia is full of mental health issues lately

[fangdango]

It's not yours either, it belongs to the Indigenous people.

[AaronHenray]

Well hopefully the Australian government kick her out of office for embarrassing their entire country on a world stage. Had she made an approach in a different way asking for an audience with the king, being the only one in the senate from her background, she may have found he or the queen would be willing to discuss the issues with her. Instead she acts like a total buffoon, embarrassing herself and the people she represents.

Are we allowed to go to the asylum hotels and scream "THIS IS NOT YOUR LAND" at the illegal immigrants? No? We get arrested for that, right? Seems like double standards...

[Dragon-hmpq]

Lidia Thorpe is well-known for acting like this.

[chrimbus]

Her dads scottish, so she is a coloniser too. She should get a scottish passport if she hasnt got one already and stop occupying, it is not HER land.

[corporalcrazy]

Shes getting sacked in the morning, sacked in the morning!

[kilohawk]

If she doesn’t like it, return to the outback.

[admiralpicard]

Well she just embarrassed herself & any legitimacy of her argument has been diminished by shouting & screaming like that.

[ConradAinger]

As the King is not worried about the indigenous people of England, Scotland and Wales, then why should he be concerned about those of Australia?

[WoodysOpinion]

Love it how Camilla just simply laughed at Lydia.. saying "oh that silly uneducated woman"...LOL

[dcoughla]

While Lidia Thorpe is entitled to her opinion, shouting and screaming like that will not give her the solution she wants. What did she expect King Charles to say in reply? The proper forum for her is through the ballot box where it’s up to the Australian people to decide.
