King Charles and Queen Camilla are currently embarking on a royal tour of Australia and Samoa.
Australia is a constitutional monarchy; King Charles is the monarch but he has limited powers within the country. While members of the general public have reportedly welcomed the King and Queen, the royals have faced resistance from anti-monarchists throughout the country.
On Monday, October 21, King Charles made a speech to the Australian Parliament in Canberra, but he was interrupted. Aboriginal Australian senator Lidia Thorpe could be heard shouting at the monarch from the back of the hall, before being escorted out.
"You are not our king," Thorpe said, via The New York Times. "Give us our land back. Give us what you stole from us." Thorpe also asked that the United Kingdom enter a treaty with Australia’s Indigenous population, while referencing past abuses and colonial genocide.
"Our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people," Thorpe exclaimed. "You destroyed our land."
King Charles reportedly didn't show much reaction to the criticism he received from Thorpe, The New York Times reported. While Thorpe was quickly escorted from the venue, Charles and Camilla left soon after, too.
Meanwhile, a palace source told People that Charles and Camilla are "deeply grateful to the very many thousands who turned out to support them, and are only sorry they didn’t have a chance to stop and talk to every single one. The warmth and scale of the reception was truly awesome."
In contrast to Thorpe's opinion, Nova Peris OAM OLY posted on X, "As a former Senator and the first Aboriginal woman in the Australian Parliament, I am deeply disappointed by the actions of Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe during King Charles III’s visit to Parliament House."

Someone should tell that senator that all land on earth 🌎🌍🌏 is stolen land.
Have hm transported back to England
Where he belongs.
Given a choice between the Neolithic Age or this she wants the stone axe.
“Give us our land back.”
Guarantee if white people gave them the land back and left they’d be begging for foreign aid from us and to immigrate to our countries.
Leftists are aholes no matter where they’re found
I have no issue with monarchy.
I do have an issue with King Charles“The Weak”.
He was a woke and weak Prince.
He is now a woke and weak King.
Onward to King William and his lovely wife Kate.
Heckling...
What an understatement.
What she posted on her X feed....

That looks like a threat to me.
The anti-monarchists have a point. Imagine that this bizarre clown Charles would have any power or influence whatsoever over your life. No rational, decent person would take advice from this fool and would properly resent having his hard earned money taken to support him.
They need to be more careful. If Charles gets flustered and the blood goes to his ears he’ll be in a coma for weeks.
Because you guys did so much with it before.
“...a royal tour of Australia and Samoa.”
The UK is controlled by its Deep State.
The House of Windsor is the least of the UK’s problems.
She’s another Kamala Harris.
In other news, Samoa, the other nation Charles III is visiting, has its Christian foundation specifically placed in its constitition.
“In June 2017, an Act was passed changing the country’s constitution to include a reference to the Trinity. As amended, Article 1 of the Samoan Constitution states that “Samoa is a Christian nation founded on God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit”. According to The Diplomat, “What Samoa has done is shift references to Christianity into the body of the constitution, giving the text far more potential to be used in legal processes.” The preamble to the constitution already described the country as “an independent State based on Christian principles and Samoan custom and traditions.” (wikipedia)
Maybe the rest of the world needs samoa of what Samoa’s got.
