Ms. Thorpe, an Independent senator and Indigenous activist, said “I’ll do it again” and “I’ll do it every time” after she was handed the parliamentary rebuke.
“They want me to kneel, to be silent, to disappear, but let me be clear,” she said after the Australian Senate passed the motion which was supported by both the ruling Labor party and the opposition coalition, “my loyalty lies with my people, with justice, not with a government or a crown that has systematically worked to erase us.”
The Senate passed the motion against Mr. Thorpe with 46 votes in favour and 12 against for heckling King Charles and Queen Camilla during their address in the Great Hall of Parliament House.
