The royal visit of King Charles III to Australia has sparked a heated debate about the monarchy's role in a country with a dark history of colonization and genocide against Indigenous peoples. Senator Lidia Thorpe's public heckling of the King, demanding apologies and restitution for past atrocities, reflects a growing sentiment in Australia for abolishing ties to the British Crown. While some welcome the visit, others, like the Australian Republic Movement, see it as outdated and symbolic of a bygone era. As calls for treaties with Indigenous communities persist, the debate over the monarchy's relevance in Australia remains contentious, with the King's visit serving as a flashpoint for deeper discussions on national identity and reconciliation.
