Pars Today - An Australian indigenous MP protested the presence of the British monarch in the Australian parliament, saying to him: "You are not my king."

Moments after Charles III, the King of Britain, finished his speech in the Australian parliament, Senator Lidia Thorpe stormed towards the stage, shouting: "You are not my king" and "This land is not yours".

According to Pars Today, Thorpe accused Britain of genocide against the indigenous people of Australia and demanded the return of stolen lands and properties to the native people of the country.

The Australian MP also called on the British monarch to apologize for Britain's crimes in Australia.

Security forces removed her from the scene after about a minute.

In recent years, especially after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, there has been a growing push for Australia to become a republic and distance itself from the British monarchy.

Australia is currently a member of the British Commonwealth, subject to the British crown.

However, many Australians want the country to become a republic and gain full political independence.
