Australia’s Senate censured Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe on November 18 for protesting King Charles during his visit to parliament. Thorpe, an Indigenous activist, accused the monarch of genocide and rejected his sovereignty over Australia after he paid respects to traditional landowners in his speech. The censure motion, supported by both the ruling Labor party and opposition coalition, is a symbolic move with no legal consequences. Thorpe, from the DjabWurrung Gunnai Gunditjmara community, labelled those backing the censure as "hypocrites" and argued that it was a distraction from the real issues facing Australia, particularly Indigenous rights and injustices.
