Lidia Thorpe explodes as she is punished for her extraordinary attack on King Charles during his royal visit to Australia – and the significance of her defiant necklace

Lidia Thorpe has exploded in anger after the Senate censured the rogue senator over her high-profile protest during King Charles’ visit to Australia.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong tabled a motion of censure against Ms Thorpe in the Senate on Monday morning, claiming her outburst during the King’s visit last month was intended to “stir outrage and dismay”.

“This is part of a trend that we’re seeing internationally that, quite frankly, we don’t need here in Australia,” Senator Wong told Parliament on Monday.

The motion ‘condemns Senator Thorpe for the disruptive and disrespectful behavior during the parliamentary reception, for her disrespect for democratic institutions, including our parliament of which she is a member’.

Dressed in a native fur coat, Ms Thorpe, 51, shouted that the monarch had “committed genocide against our people” and added “f*** the colony” during King Charles and Camilla’s visit Down Under in October.

The independent senator was not present on Monday to hear the censure motion, which passed by a vote of 46 to 12, but returned and shouted “shame on you!” repeatedly against her fellow parliamentarians.

‘Order! Order! Order!’, speaker Sue Lines responded.

“Senator Thorpe, you are out of order! Senator Thorpe, come order!’

But Ms Thorpe, who wore a necklace with the words ‘Not My King’ on it, continued her tirade.

“Shame on you all!” she shouted.

She added, “I’ll do it again, and I’ll do it every time!”

A motion of censure has no direct legal or constitutional consequences and is merely a way for parliament to express its extreme disapproval.

Before her outburst in the House, Senator Thorpe wrote on X that the ‘motion of censure shows where the priorities of the major parties lie’.

“They don’t stand with the First Peoples in this country. They oppose justice for our people and prefer to defend a foreign king rather than listen to the truth,” she wrote.

Senator Thorpe said of her protest before the King: ‘I will do it again, and I will do it every time!’

Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi criticized the motion and called on politicians to listen to the concerns of Indigenous Australians.

“The bubble of white privilege that encapsulates this parliament is a systemic problem,” she said.

“That’s why we’re here today, debating a Black senator accused of telling the truth about the British Crown’s genocide of First Nations people and telling it the way she wants.”

Speaking to reporters after the motion was passed, Ms Thorpe said the only thing Labor and the Coalition achieved was to “give me more media and more exposure”.

“If the colonizing king came to my country again, our country, I will do it again,” she said.

‘And I’ll keep doing it. I will oppose colonization in this country.

“I pledge my allegiance to the true sovereigns of these lands, the First Nations are the true sovereigns.”

A motion of censure was also filed against Senator Ralph Babet, who last week shared a list of disgusting insults on social media, daring to criticize “woke ass clowns.”

The Victorian senator, who was elected in 2022 as part of billionaire Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party (UAP), shared a broadcast from misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate a week ago.

“My ni****r nailed this one,” Mr. Babet wrote on social media platform X. “One hundred percent.”

The senator, an unmarried former real estate agent who was born in Mauritius and now earns a basic salary of $233,000 after becoming the only UAP senator to be elected, doubled the amount and dared anyone to criticize him.

‘In my house we say ph****t, re***d and ni***r. We are tired of you being woke clowns,” he wrote.

“Cry more. Write an article. Tweet about me. No one cares what you think.”

Senator Wong said the government tabled the censure motions “reluctantly”.

“We all know that both senators are engaging in this behavior precisely to gain attention, engaging in actions and stunts designed to create social media storms but offering nothing substantive to improve anyone’s life,” he said. them.

‘These are actions that aim to stir outrage and discontent, and actually want to boost their own profile. And this fits into a trend that we see internationally, but that we honestly don’t need here in Australia.”

The motion, which “censures Senator Babet for his inflammatory use of hate speech intended to sow division for his own political benefit,” passed without the need for a vote.

Mr Babet was also not in the room to hear the motion.
