The Australian Senate has passed a motion of censure against Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe after her criticism of King Charles, with 46 senators voting in favor and 12 against. Thorpe's comments in parliament included statements like 'this is not your land, you are not my king' and 'give us our land back, give us back what you stole from us'. She also accused European colonizers of genocide. Thorpe was removed during her verbal attack.
