Lydia Thorpe , a senator of the National Parliament in Canberra has clashed with the king, " Charles III" .

Thorpe is the first Aboriginal (indigenous) woman from the state of Victoria to become a senator and to be sworn into the Australian Parliament.

She refused to pledge allegiance to Britain's then-Queen Elizabeth II, Charles' mother.

Before the incident with the king in parliament, she organized a demonstration with about 20 other people while he was laying a wreath at the local monument.

"This is not your country, you are not my king. Give us back our land. Give us back what you stole from us! Our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people. You are not my king! You have destroyed our country," shouted Thorpe, dressed in traditional Aboriginal clothing.

Hall security intervened to prevent her from getting any closer to the king and was ushered out of the hall so that Charles could continue his talks with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese .
