Når kongefamilien bliver forbløffet: Senator Thorpe råber under royal modtagelse!

Lidia Thorpe giver Dronningens besøg en dramatisk tvist! Du vil ikke tro, hvad hun sagde til kongefamilien!

I en bemærkelsesværdig hændelse, der har fanget mediernes opmærksomhed, blev den australske senator Lidia Thorpe eskorteret ud af en officiel modtagelse for den britiske kongefamilie. Begivenheden, der fandt sted i Canberra, blev pludselig dramatisk, da Thorpe råbte "I er ikke min konge" og "det her er ikke jeres land" under kong Charles III's tale. Som en repræsentant for de oprindelige australiere udtrykte Thorpe sin vrede over britiske kolonisters historiske overgreb og den jord, der blev 'stjålet' fra hendes folk.

Begivenheden skete på en dag, hvor kong Charles og dronning Camilla afslørede nye initiativer for at styrke forbindelserne til Australien. Thorpes protest bragte dog fokus på et dybere problem, som mange oprindelige australiere følte, stadig ikke er blevet ordentligt adresseret af politikerne. Den kontroversielle senator, kendt for sin direkte tilgang, har tidligere talt for en traktat mellem aboriginalere og ikke-aboriginalere i Australien, og hendes handlinger tirsdag aften understregede det presserende behov for anerkendelse og retfærdighed.

Reaktionerne fra de tilstedeværende var blandede; nogle klappede af Thorpe, mens andre udtrykte chok over hendes udbrud. Politisk debat blussede op på begge sider af parlamentet, hvor nogle kritikere roste hendes mod, mens andre betragtede hendes handlinger som upassende. Thorpe selv sagde, at hun ikke bekymrede sig om, hvad folk måtte mene om hendes protest, og forsøgte at fokusere på de vigtigste spørgsmål vedrørende aboriginales rettigheder.

I takt med at kongefamilien så til, satte Thorpe et spotlight på de udfordringer, indfødte folk står overfor i Australien. Relationen mellem Australien og Storbritannien har altid været præget af det historiske kolonialistiske forhold, og denne episode har uden tvivl tilføjet et lag af kompleksitet til allerede spændte samtaler. Vidste du, at det er 250 år siden, at kaptajn Cook første gang landede i Australien, og meget af dette land stadig betragtes som 'stjålet' af de oprindelige folk? Desuden er Lidia Thorpe den første aboriginal senator i Victoria, og hendes modstand mod den britiske kongefamilie har fået mange til at reflektere over forbindelsen mellem australsk politik, kultur og historie.
