King Charles and Queen Camilla's royal tour of Australia has been met with both fanfare and protests. On the fifth day of their visit, an anti-monarchist demonstrator interrupted their appearance at the Sydney Opera House, shouting accusations related to colonialism and the treatment of Indigenous Australians. Despite the protest, royal supporters drowned out the chants, and the couple continued their scheduled events, including a community barbecue and meet-and-greet sessions. The tour has highlighted ongoing tensions regarding Australia's colonial history and the monarchy's role in it.

It's about time people are calling out the monarchy for its colonial past and the harm it continues to represent, especially for Indigenous Australians.

Honestly, it’s about time more people start questioning the role of the monarchy. Why should a distant royal family have any say or influence over Australia in this day and age? People should have the freedom to govern themselves without being tied to some outdated institution. Let the protests happen—it's a step toward real self-determination.
