‘I’ll do it again’ vows Australian politician who heckled the King

An Aboriginal Australian politician who harangued King Charles has been censured by parliament but said she did not “give a damn” and would “do it again” if he ever returned.

Lidia Thorpe made headlines around the world last month when she interrupted a reception for King Charles and Queen Camilla during their official visit to Australia, yelling “f--- the colony”, “this is not your land” and “you are not our King”.

On Monday, she was censured by the Australian parliament, with the Senate passing the motion with 46 votes in favour and 12 against.

The motion, a symbolic political move with no legal or constitutional consequences, condemned her actions as “disruptive and disrespectful”.

The Senate said it no longer regarded it “appropriate” for Ms Thorpe to be a member of any delegation “during the life of this parliament”.
