In an impassioned address to King Charles, Senator Lidia Thorpe said, 'Give us our land back. Give us what you stole from us our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people. You destroyed our land.' Her remarks emphasized the historical grievances of Indigenous Australians and called for recognition and reparations from the monarchy.
Thorpe noted, 'To be sovereign you have to be of the land. He is not of this land.' This statement underlines her belief that true sovereignty requires an intrinsic connection to the territory and history of Australia, rejecting the legitimacy of external authority.
