British King Charles III faced protest by an Indigenous lawmaker on Monday, telling the monarch the southern Pacific nation was “not” his land.

Clad in a fur cloak, Senator Lidia Thorpe raised her voice to make Charles listen to her statement after the monarch delivered his speech in the Australian parliament.

Secret services were seen walking towards and pushing the lawmaker out of the room, who accused the British monarch of committing genocide against the indigenous peoples.

“This is not your land. You are not my king. You are not our king,” Thorpe is heard saying in a video.

Charles and his wife Queen Camilla arrived in Sydney on Friday, on their first visit to Australia since ascending the throne.

They will spend five days in the region, including attending a meeting of the Commonwealth heads of government in Samoa.

“Treaty now,” Thorpe said, addressing the King.

The outspoken lawmaker has long demanded a treaty between Australia and First Nations peoples that would mean formally recognizing their sovereignty.

British began occupying parts of Australia in 1788 but made no agreements with First Nations peoples.

“You committed genocide against our people. Give us our land back. Give us what you stole from us — our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people,” Thorpe shouted, addressing the British monarch, who was accompanied by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

“Give us a treaty, we want treaty” a transcript of her statement released by ABC News read.

Last year, the majority of Australians rejected a historic referendum to recognize the role of Aboriginal minorities in the Constitution.

Dubbed a “Voice to Parliament,” if passed, the Indigenous Australians — whose ancestors have lived on the continent for at least 60,000 years — would have received a constitutional right to advise parliament on policies related to them, for the first time in the nation’s history.

– Who are Australia’s Indigenous people?

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are the “First Peoples of Australia,” known to have inhabited the continent for more than 60,000 years.

Aboriginal people mostly live on the Australian mainland and Tasmania, while the Torres Strait Islander people are settled on the islands of the Torres Strait, which lie between Australia and Papua New Guinea.

The Torres Strait Islands are now part of the Australian state of Queensland. There are more than 600 different Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, and each group has its own unique culture, customs and traditions.

Since the colonization of Australia by British settlers in 1788, the Indigenous people have faced immense hardships, ranging from the loss of traditional culture and homelands to the forced removal of children and denial of citizenship rights, according to the Australian Human Rights Commission.

King Charles faced a confrontation from Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe during his visit to Australia. On October 21, Thorpe told him that he was “not her king” and demanded a treaty between Australia’s First Nations and its government.

After King Charles delivered a significant speech at Australia’s Parliament House, Thorpe confronted him, accusing the Commonwealth of committing “genocide” against Indigenous people.

The Australian senator expressed her strong disapproval by declaring that Charles was not their sovereign and demanded the return of their land, claiming it had been taken from them.

“You are not our King you are not Sovereign… you have committed genocide against our people. Give us our land back. Give us what you stole from us… Our babies, Our people. You destroyed our land,” she said.

“Give us a treaty – we want a treaty with this country… This is not your land, this is not your land, you are not my King you are not our King,” Thorpe added.

As she was escorted out of the hall, she shouted that a treaty between the First Nations people and the government was needed.

Throughout the Royal tour of Australia, Charles and Camilla encountered smaller protests from groups supporting First Nations’ resistance to colonisation. Protesters had been seen displaying banners reading “decolonise” at several events.

The Independent cited sources who indicated that King Charles, despite the confrontation, remained calm.

Earlier that day, Charles and Camilla were warmly received at the national war memorial, where they met hundreds of well-wishers, including a sneezing alpaca, in a lighthearted moment.

What did King Charles say?

In his speech to the Australian parliament, King Charles spoke about his long-standing relationship with the country, which began when he first visited as a teenager. He mentioned how his time studying in the Outback shaped him, leaving a lasting impression on his life.

“Throughout my life, Australia’s First Nations peoples have done me the great honour of sharing, so generously, their stories and cultures. I can only say how much my own experience has been shaped and strengthened by such traditional wisdom,” Charles said.
