Lidia Thorpe’s outburst in Parliament during the visit of King Charles III is just the latest in a long list of controversial maneuvers the independent senator has planned.
From defending her biker ex-boyfriend from deportation to shouting profanities outside a Melbourne strip club at 3am, Thorpe, 51, has kept Australians on their toes since being sworn in as a member of the Senate in 2022.
However, he managed to top his list of stunts on Monday when he aggressively disrupted King Charles’s royal welcome in Parliament in front of stunned guests.
Shortly after Her Majesty finished her speech praising Australia, Ms Thorpe launched into a foul-mouthed tirade shouting “fuck the colony” and “you’re not my king”.
“You committed genocide against our people,” she screamed, wrapped in a native fur coat.
‘Give us back our land. Give us what you stole from us.
‘Our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people. You destroyed our land.
‘Give us our treaties. We want a treaty in this country. You are a genocide. This is not your land, this is not your land.’
Thorpe, dressed in a native fur coat (pictured), repeatedly shouted: “Not my king,” before security removed her from the room on Monday.

He was previously a member of the Greens before leaving the party and declaring himself an independent in February 2023 during his No Against an Indigenous Voice campaign to Parliament.
“I will now be able to speak freely on all issues from a sovereign perspective without being limited by agreed-upon partisan portfolios and positions,” she said at the time.
‘Greens MPs, members and supporters have told me they want to support the voice. This is at odds with the activist community who say treaty before voice.”
In September 2022, shortly after taking office in the Senate, he faced harsh backlash after leading a protest that stained the wrong shield with fake blood during a protest against the monarchy.
Thousands of protesters demonstrated against British colonization in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra during the national day of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II.
The most dramatic scenes took place in Melbourne, where protesters set fire to the Australian flag and stained a royal emblem with red dye.
Thorpe was infamously filmed verbally attacking a group of men outside a Melbourne strip club (pictured).
In early 2023, Thorpe (pictured) disrupted a ‘Let Woman Speak’ event outside Parliament in Canberra organized by controversial women’s rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull.
However, protesters demonstrating in front of the building housing the British consulate unknowingly stained the wrong royal emblem with fake blood, vandalizing the coat of arms of the Portuguese monarchy.
Thorpe was one of the leading voices of the protest, addressing the crowd with his hands dripping with fake blood.
‘The Crown has blood on its hands. “Our people continue to die in this country every day,” he said.
“The Crown’s boot is on our necks and we are tired of it.”
He followed the stunt with more shenanigans in 2023, including an infamous brawl outside a Melbourne strip club.
David Ross, general manager of Maxine’s Gentlemen’s Club in North Melbourne, previously told Daily Mail Australia that Thorpe had been approaching “white men” and “telling them his land had been stolen” before the viral 3pm spray. the morning
The senator was filmed as she unleashed herself on a group of men, telling one ‘you have a small penis’ and another ‘you are marked’ in a threatening tone.
One of the men called her a “racist dog” to which she responded “fuck you” as a friend stopped her.
She told the men: ‘All I want to say to the black brothers there and anyone we’re fighting with…
‘Any black man standing next to the damn little white c*** like that, y’all (sic) can be f**ked too!’
One of the men then asked: ‘How the hell does someone like you get into parliament?’
She replied: ‘We’ve been repressed our whole damn life in this country and you let this little dog talk.’
Ms Thorpe’s previous relationship with biker boss Dean Martin (pictured together) was back in the spotlight earlier this year after she claimed the government had made a mistake by canceling her visa for character reasons.

After reviewing footage of Thorpe’s confrontation, Ross said she would not be welcome back at the strip club.
In February 2023, Thorpe clashed with police after disrupting Sydney’s Mardi Gras parade.
She had lain down in the middle of the procession as it moved down Oxford St, causing the large crowd to “boo” her.
Daily Mail Australia watched as Ms Thorpe suddenly burst into the police section of the parade with her arms crossed over her head shouting “fuck the police”.
After chasing officers as they marched, she repeatedly shouted her slogan in their faces while others confronted her.
He then jumped in front of the Australian Federal Police float and lay down on the ground, arresting it.
Thorpe later said she was “proud” of her action.
“Black and brown trans women started the first pride march as a protest against police violence,” she wrote on Twitter.
‘Today we still face violence from the police. Proud to have joined the #PrideInProtest float in Sydney to say #NoPrideInGenocide, #NoPrideInPrisons and #NoCopsInPride.’
Thorpe’s previous relationship with former biker boss Dean Martin was thrust back into the spotlight earlier this year after she claimed the government had made a mistake by canceling her visa on character grounds.
The New Zealander is the former national president of the Rebels motorcycle gang and dated Ms Thorpe while she was on a committee investigating motorcycle gangs.
In 2022, Thorpe (right) marched onto the floor of Parliament with a Black Power salute to take the parliamentary oath.
Despite claims she was quietly kicked out of the Greens for not disclosing the relationship, Thorpe came to Martin’s defense in July.
Thorpe said that although he had not spoken to Martin, he believed “the government had made a mistake with this decision”.
“Mr Martin has evidence, support and recognition that he is Aboriginal from the elders and community of Lutruwita Tasmania,” he said.
‘We have already seen the High Court rule in 2020 that the Commonwealth lacks the constitutional power to deport First Peoples under the Migration Act.
“The 2020 ruling reflected the Mabo decision, which recognized that the First Peoples’ connection to this country has never been severed.”
Martin managed to avoid deportation in August after proving his indigenous heritage.
Thorpe has also made enemies within other left-wing movements and in early 2023 disrupted a ‘Let Woman Speak’ event outside Parliament in Canberra organized by controversial women’s rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull.
Wrapped in an Aboriginal flag, Thorpe headed straight towards Keen-Minshull, before being intercepted and taken down by police.
He crawled across the grass and headed toward a group of more than 100 pro-trans counterprotesters.
The independent senator from the “black sovereignty” movement later claimed she was “pulverized” by police and said Ms Keen-Minshull, who she referred to as “filth”, should not be allowed to speak on land aboriginal.
Even Thorpe’s first act as senator was controversial.
Mrs Thorpe (pictured in the crowd) told King Charles on Monday: “You committed genocide against our people.”
He had marched onto the floor of Parliament with a Black Power salute to take the parliamentary oath.
After raising his right fist, Thorpe sarcastically vowed to serve the monarchy.
He added his own spin to the oath, saying: “I will be faithful and maintain true loyalty to the colonizer Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”
