King Charles faces ongoing protests during visit to Australia with Indigenous leaders and large crowd in Sydney
ai generated text
Protests against King Charles's visit to Australia have been ongoing, with Aboriginal leaders and activists expressing their discontent. On one occasion, Wayne Wharton, a prominent Aboriginal campaigner, shouted "He's not my king" at a crowd gathered outside the Sydney Opera House, where King Charles was scheduled to appear. The crowd, however, responded with "God save the King," and Wharton was subsequently arrested for refusing to move on despite police orders. Despite these protests, Indigenous leaders did meet with King Charles, and his visit was attended by a large crowd.
Australia is moving forward in its journey of reconciliation … as hard as that journey is, it requires respectful dialogue, mutual understanding, and a shared commitment to healing — not divisive actions that draw attention away from the progress we are making as a country.
