Indigenous Senator Censured for Royalist Tirade
The Australian Senate voted 46-12 to censure Senator Lidia Thorpe for her expletive-laden outburst directed at King Charles III during his recent visit. Senator Thorpe’s condemnation, deemed by government leader Penny Wong as an attempt to incite outrage, involved accusations of genocide and demands for land restitution. Despite the censure, Thorpe vowed to repeat her actions should the King return. Opposition to the censure motion highlighted the systemic issues of white privilege within the parliament.
