An Indigenous Australian senator, Lidia Thorpe, has intensified her criticism of King Charles III, accusing him of complicity in the "genocide" against Australia's First Peoples.
Senator Thorpe's comments came after an encounter with the monarch at a parliamentary reception, where she was escorted out for shouting at him about British colonizers taking Indigenous land and bones.
She declared she will not be "shut down" in her criticism of the British monarch.
Senator Thorpe's actions were a disruption to the proceedings at Parliament House in Canberra, Australia, where King Charles and Queen Camilla attended a reception hosted by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
