Indigenous Australian Senator Confronts King Charles III

An Indigenous Australian senator has intensified her criticism of King Charles III, accusing him of complicity in the "genocide" against Australia's First Peoples.

Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe disrupted a parliamentary reception hosted by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, shouting at the King about British colonizers taking Indigenous land and bones.

She declared she will not be "shut down" after being escorted out of the reception.

Senator Thorpe's comments came after an encounter with the monarch on Monday, where she confronted him about the treatment of Australia's First Nations peoples.
