King Charles III faces Indigenous activists for 2nd day in a row

Oct 23, 2024

Sydney [Australia], October 23: Britain's King Charles III was confronted for a second day by First Nations activists questioning the supremacy of the British monarchy in Australia.
When Charles met Indigenous elders during a visit to the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence (NCIE) in Sydney one told him their goal was "sovereignty."
The visit came after the king was accused on Monday of "genocide" against Australia's First Nations by Senator Lidia Thorpe who told him "You are not my King."
After Charles spoke to guests at Parliament House in Canberra, Thorpe, who wore a possum skin coat and carried a traditional message stick, shouted: "You are not our King, you are not sovereign ... you have committed genocide against our people."
Her comments were criticised as "disrespectful" by Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who attended the event, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended the king, describing him as an "incredible ambassador".
