In a symbolic gesture of disapproval, Australian senators voted to censure an Indigenous colleague who yelled at King Charles III during a reception at Parliament House last month. The motion to censure independent Sen. Lidia Thorpe was carried with 46 votes in favor and 12 against.
Government leader in the Senate Penny Wong criticized Thorpe's outburst, describing it as an attempt to 'incite outrage and grievance.' Wong highlighted that such behavior is not conducive to the harmonious environment Australia aims to maintain.
