Australia

An Australian senator has defended heckling King Charles and accusing him of genocide after he addressed Australia's Parliament House, telling the BBC that "he's not of this land".

Lidia Thorpe, an Aboriginal Australian woman, interrupted the ceremony in the capital of Canberra by shouting for about a minute before she was escorted away by security.

After making claims of genocide against "our people", she could be heard yelling: "This is not your land, you are not my King."

[...]

"To be sovereign you have to be of the land," she said. "He is not of this land."

Thorpe, who is an independent senator from Victoria, is among those who have advocated for a treaty between Australia’s government and its first inhabitants.

Unlike New Zealand and other former British colonies, a treaty with Indigenous peoples in Australia was never established. Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people emphasise that they never ceded their sovereignty or land to the Crown.

This is very reminiscent of the On The Run traineeship scandal that occurred in South Australia not long ago. Anyone know of other companies still using these traineeship loopholes to commit mass wage theft?

What a bunch of stupid money wasting cunts.

This looks so fucking bad.

In short:

A tourist has been accompanied down Cradle Mountain, in Tasmania's north west, after attempting to climb it without footwear.

Police say the man contacted emergency services Saturday morning, reporting that he was unable to walk due to his toes being frost-bitten.

What's next?

Police have urged people to remember the importance of going out into the wilderness with appropriate equipment.

This is just a backdoor way to tie real names to online accounts.

Someone think of the children! /s

So, show me a photo of your driver's licence to prove you aren't one.
