Australian senator Lidia Thorpe tore up a copy of a motion censuring her for protesting against King Charles during his October visit when she accused him of genocide against Indigenous people.

Australian senators have voted to censure an Indigenous colleague who yelled at King Charles III during a reception in Parliament House last month.

An Indigenous Australian senator was censured by fellow lawmakers Monday for a "disrespectful and disruptive" outburst at Britain's King Charles as he delivered an address to dignitaries in Parliament.
