King Charles heckled by Australian senator over land ownership and colonial legacy

Senator Lidia Thorpe, an independent lawmaker from Victoria, was removed from parliament after she heckled King Charles during his visit to the parliament on Monday. She shouted anti-colonial slogans, including "This is not your country," "You committed genocide against our people," and "Give us our land back." Thorpe also cursed the colony and said "You are not my king." King Charles acknowledged Australia's First Nations people, who lived on the land for tens of thousands of years before the arrival of British settlers over 230 years ago. The incident occurred during a parliamentary reception for King Charles and Queen Camilla.
