Britain's King Charles, who is still the head of state of the former colony Australia, was heckled during a reception at the parliament in Canberra.

Give us our land back! Give us what you stole from us, screamed independent Senator Lidia Thorpe during a reception for Charles and Queen Camilla.

Thorpe was quickly escorted away but managed to shout that Charles, who also gave a speech, is not her king and that Australia is not his country. Thorpe, who belongs to the indigenous population, turned her back when "God save the King" was played.

She condemned what she called the genocide that the British and other Europeans subjected the indigenous Aboriginal population to.

Australia was a British colony for over a hundred years but became practically independent in 1901, but still has the British monarch as head of state.

During the colonial era, thousands of Aboriginal people were killed and many others forcibly relocated.
