An Indigenous Australian senator was removed from a parliamentary reception in Australia for protesting against King Charles III. The incident occurred when Senator Lidia Thorpe shouted "You are not our king!" following the monarch's address in Canberra. She was escorted out by security while continuing her protest. This unfolded after leaders of all six Australian states declined to attend the royal reception hosted by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

The senator spoke to the BBC after she was removed from the parliament building, saying Charles is not sovereign because “he is not of this land”.

King Charles, on a visit to Australia, was heckled by Indigenous Australian senator Lidia Thorpe, who shouted anti-colonial slogans in the parliament. Thorpe is known to be a fierce opponent of monarchy.
