“This is not your land” – Senator Lidia Thorpe confronts King Charles in Australian Parliament

Published

Indigenous Senator Lidia Thorpe interrupted King Charles during his address, calling for a treaty and an apology for colonial wrongs.

In a dramatic moment in Australia’s parliament, Senator Lidia Thorpe, an Indigenous leader from the state of Victoria, interrupted King Charles, shouting, “This is not your land. You are not my King!”

Thorpe, dressed in traditional clothing, demanded the return of stolen land and a treaty for Aboriginal Australians.

The King, in Australia for a royal tour with Queen Camilla, had just delivered a speech at Parliament House in Canberra, acknowledging Australia’s complex journey towards reconciliation.

He expressed his appreciation for Indigenous traditions, including a “Welcome to Country” ceremony by Ngunnawal Elder Aunty Serena Williams.

No apology

However, he stopped short of issuing the apology many Indigenous leaders, including Thorpe, had hoped for.

Security swiftly removed Thorpe as she continued to demand justice for the country’s First Nations people.

This wasn’t her first act of defiance. She famously refused to pledge allegiance to the monarchy when sworn into parliament.

Indigenous leaders like Aunty Serena Williams have continued to call on the King to acknowledge and apologise for the lasting effects of colonialism.

King Charles, while speaking of reconciliation, has so far avoided directly addressing these demands.

Thorpe’s actions reflect a growing movement within Australia pushing for recognition, justice, and a formal treaty with its Indigenous population.

Multiple Australia-Bali flights cancelled as Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki erupts again, disrupting travel for the second time in two months.

In Short:
International flights between Australia and Bali have been cancelled again due to the recent eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in Indonesia. This marks the second eruption in two months.

Multiple return international flights between Australia and Bali have faced cancellations following the recent eruption of Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcano. It marks the second time in as many months that volcanic activity has disrupted travel plans for passengers heading to the popular tourist destination.

Observations from drones showed lava filling the crater, indicating deep movement of magma that set off volcanic earthquakes.

“An eruption of that size certainly carries a higher potential for danger, including its impact on aviation,” Mr Wafid told The Associated Press.

“We shall re-evaluate to enlarge its danger zone that must be cleared of villagers and tourist activities.”

Flight delays

“Some Virgin Australia Bali services have been cancelled following the eruption of Mount Lewotobi earlier today,” a Virgin Australia spokesperson said.

“The safety of our guests and crew is our highest priority and our team of expert meteorologists are closely monitoring the situation and ash cloud activity.

“We regret the impact of this on guests’ travel plans and encourage guests travelling to or from Bali to closely monitor their flight status via the Virgin Australia website or app.”

Qantas flights QF43 from Sydney and QF45 from Melbourne to Denpasar, Bali have been delayed.

Bali, known for its stunning landscapes and cultural attractions, relies heavily on international tourism, particularly from Australia. With flight cancellations, many are left scrambling to adjust their itineraries or seek alternative destinations. The situation has put a spotlight on the challenges that natural events can pose to the tourism sector.

Authorities in Indonesia are working to assess the situation and manage the impact of the volcano’s activity. Updates on travel advisories and safety measures are expected to be communicated to the public as conditions evolve.
