King Charles was criticized as a 'genocidalist' by an Australian Senator during a public event.

Next on the agenda, the King of England found himself in a heated confrontation with an Australian senator after delivering a speech in the country's parliament. The senator, Lidia Thorpe, boldly declared, "This is not your land. You are not our King," while the monarch stood before her.

Senator Thorpe, who is the first aboriginal senator in Victoria, made her remarks while the King was in conversation with the Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, after his speech. Dressed in traditional Aboriginal attire, she marched across the lobby and confronted the King, demanding that he return the land that was stolen from her people.

"Our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people. You destroyed our lives," she passionately declared. "Give us a treaty, we need a treaty in this country. You are a genocidalist."

As she was escorted from the chamber by security, she could be heard shouting, "F*** the colony." This protest did not sit well with former prime minister and staunch royalist, Tony Abbott, who was also present at the event. He deemed it an "unfortunate political exhibitionism."

Senator Thorpe, who refused to swear allegiance to the Queen upon being elected, was one of approximately 20 individuals protesting the King's arrival as he laid a wreath at a war memorial in Canberra earlier in the day. She was one of many indigenous voices expressing their opposition to the King's visit, which has been dubbed a "farewell tour" by Australian Republicans.

In her passionate speech, Senator Thorpe labeled the King a "genocidalist" and demanded a treaty for the abolishment of the monarchy. This sentiment was echoed by others, including Aunty Serena Williams from the Ngunnawal people, who greeted the King and his wife, Camilla, upon their arrival.

Aunty Serena urged the King to apologize for the atrocities committed during the colonial era. "We all have roles and responsibilities, and I have roles and responsibilities to my people," she explained to reporters. "And I think an apology would be beautiful."

When asked if the King should personally apologize, she replied, "Yes, because we have to acknowledge our past." Charles acknowledged these remarks during his speech in parliament and stated, "I offered to pay my respects to the traditional owners of the land on which we meet." However, he stopped short of issuing a formal apology.
