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.

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.
