British King Charles III is currently visiting Australia. He arrived in Australia on Sunday and had to face unexpected behavior on the second day of his visit. King Charles was scheduled to address the Australian Parliament on Monday morning.

As soon as the 11-minute long speech was over, a member of the upper house of the Senate shouted that Charles was not the king of Australia. This is not your land. You are not my king . (This is not your land, you are not our king),' Lydia Thorpe, elected senator from the state of Victoria, told Charles . 

In the ceremony held at the Parliament House in Canberra, the capital of Australia, after shouting for about a minute expressing his displeasure, the security personnel took the tribal MP out of the Parliament House. 

Aunty Violet Sheridan, the tribal leader who welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla before that, said that Thorpe's opposition was insulting. After Thorpe was escorted out of the building by security, the situation returned to normal and the royal couple proceeded to meet the hundreds of people waiting outside to greet them . Australian MP tells Charles, 'You are not our king'

Australia is a Commonwealth country and there the King plays the role of head of state . But in Australia recently, a debate has started about removing the king from the role . Thorpe, an independently elected senator from the state of Victoria, is one of the advocates of a treaty between the Australian government and its indigenous people. 

After protesting Charles, Thorpe responded to the BBC that she wanted to send a clear message to the king. "To be sovereign, you must belong to a land," she said, "this is not his country."

Thorpe says that the king should instruct parliament to discuss a peace treaty with the tribes. "We can lead it, we can do it, we can be a better country." But we cannot bow to the generation of colonizers who are responsible for mass murder and genocide," said Thorpe.

There has been a long-standing debate about how to address the disparities between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples in Australia due to deteriorating health, wealth and education . Last year, a referendum on granting greater political rights and recognition to indigenous peoples known as 'Voice' was rejected.  Australian MP tells Charles, 'You are not our king'

Thorpe, who was elected to Parliament as a member of the Greens, left the party to support the Voice. In the past, she had held protests in favor of tribals that attracted the attention of the outside world.

Despite Thorpe's opposition, Australians seemed happy to meet the royal family. They lined up in the early morning outside Parliament Buildings waving Australian flags in the Canberra sun.

Among them, 20-year-old Jamie Karpas said, "I am very excited." I think the royal family is part of Australian culture . They are a big part of our lives .'But a small number of disaffected people also gathered in front of Parliament House .

Rajarani, who arrived in Australia on Sunday, was welcomed by various politicians, students and representatives of tribal tribes, Nagunnawal Elder Aunty Serena Williams. The British royal palace, Buckingham Palace, has not made any official comments about Thorpe's protest.

Australia has been debating for a long time about separating from the monarchy and becoming a republic. But the people rejected it in the 1999 referendum. But with the entry of Anthony Albanizi as the prime minister recently, this case is considered to be stronger.
