I don't get the point of her doing this beyond it being a cool stunt to get clicks and media views. Thorpe is an annoying party hopper. Indigenous people deserve a fighting party, not disparate activists. Smh.

This is so badass. I’ve seen some elders say they disapprove because they think it was too aggressive and might turn more people against indigenous people but fuck, this is powerful. This country is racist af anyway so fuck them.

Something I've suddenly thought of in light of Lidia Thorpe's protest, and the nature of the pledge of allegiance to King Charles:
Technically, Atheists and non-Christians probably should not be expected to pledge allegiance to a monarch.
The entire existence of a monarchy depends on the concept that a person has been granted the divine right of kings, a right to rule granted by God and backed by the church. In Britain's case, that would be the Anglican church.
Therefore believing Charles has an inherited right to rule requires a belief in a Christian God who bestowed the right upon his family line, and trust in the authority of the Anglican church to confirm his position.
His legal position as head of state in Australia is based on the assumption that he is a king. His position as king is based on a religious assumption.
As a secular state, a secular government, the law should not be dependent on the assumptions of any one religion.
To require elected MPs and Senators to pledge allegiance to a monarch requires them to indirectly acknowledge the authority of a Christian God and church over them, despite personal religious beliefs. Arguably, that's a religious freedom and rights issue.
If the existence of God can be questioned, so too can the existence of kings.

In light of Lidia Thorpe making the news, here she is being forced to swear allegiance to colonizers and genociders.
It's brutal that the indigenous people of colonized countries, who faced genocide and ethnic cleansing, whose land was stolen, who still face racism and discrimination today have to swear oaths to the colonizers who did that to their people if they want to work in government and are elected to office.
youtube
Also a reminder why countries like Australia, the US and Europe support the settler colonial state of Israel and it's genocide of the Palestinian people. Colonizers love other colonizers in their shared oppression of indigenous people.

Australians talked a lot of shit about Florida during Covid (fairly so), but at least we don’t have England’s cock shoved firmly up our ass.
Shaming an aboriginal woman for not supporting the monarchy is in-fucking-sane.

King Charles III's Visit to Australia Disrupted by Indigenous Protest
King Charles III’s Visit to Australia Interrupted by Protest Shortly after King Charles III delivered his remarks in Australia’s Parliament on Monday, an unexpected voice echoed from the back of the chamber. “You are not our king,” declared Lidia Thorpe, an Indigenous senator and prominent activist advocating for Aboriginal rights. “Return our land. Give us back what you have stolen from us.” As…

"We’ve reached the point where people are more comfortable with calling out an Indigenous woman for swearing than with calling out literal Neo-Nazis." @kystewart_ questions the Lidia Thorpe backlash:

Y'all Senator Lidia Thorpe is on her straight girl shit again as if her meltdown on the road in front of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras wasn't embarassing enough, today at the Canberra Let Women Speak event she charged at Posie Parker from behind, got pushed over by one of the guards, and when the police tried to help her to her feet she started screaming and crawling away like a pathetic fucking child, and now she's accusing those cops of assaulting her🤦🏻‍♀️ Like, this heterosexual is so fucking embarrassing and everyone just be singing her praises anyway🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
