An Australian senator, Lidia Thorpe, caused a stir by heckling King Charles III during a speech, shouting 'You are not my King' and later sharing a cartoon of the monarch beheaded. The incident has drawn widespread criticism, including from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who condemned the senator's actions as 'disrespectful.' Thorpe's outburst occurred during a speech addressing First Nations people, highlighting ongoing tensions regarding Australia's colonial history and its ties to the British monarchy.

Good on Lidia for calling out the monarchy—it's about time we stop venerating a system built on colonialism and oppression. The real disrespect is continuing to ignore the voices of First Nations people while clinging to these outdated relics of empire.

Honestly, good for her for calling out the monarchy's colonial legacy—it's about time we have a serious conversation about Australia becoming a republic and truly reckoning with our history. Of course, the establishment is going to call it "disrespectful," but maybe it's time for some of that discomfort.
