Nova Peris: Thorpe’s Regicidal Rant Does Not Represent Aboriginal Australia
Of all the greasy, goofball Greenie stunts, Lidia Thorpe’s abusive regicidal rant has to be the dumbest.
Within hours of gate-crashing a parliamentary reception for King Charles III, the former Greens senator’s Instagram account shared a cartoon of the King’s decapitated head.
Created by Matt Chun — far-left co-editor of pro-intifada agitprop, The Sunday Paper — Chun repeated Thorpe’s attack on the King, stating, “You’re not my king. You are not sovereign.”
Now having deleted the post, Thorpe threw blame for it on a staffer, claiming,
“I deleted it as soon as I saw. I would not intentionally share anything that would encourage violence against anyone. That’s not what I’m about.”
The time-limited Instagram story piggy-backed on minor support for Thorpe’s outburst during King Charles III’s visit to parliament.
Thorpe – who shares both European and Indigenous ancestry – hurled abuse at Australia’s head of state, accusing him of genocide.
Bursting into a room of 200, Thorpe also shouted, “You are not our king,” as well as “F**** the colony.”
Wrapped in a possum-skin cloak, the sitting Australian senator – and beneficiary of British colonial heritage – then repeated the Marxian-Woke talking points about colonisation.

Explaining the theatrics, Thorpe said to GBnews on X that her outburst was in response to “several requests for a meeting being ignored.”
Embarrassment
Distancing Indigenous Australia from the senator’s stunt, former Australian Olympian Nova Peris released a statement on X saying Thorpe doesn’t speak for the majority.
Expressing horror at how the former Greens senator was misrepresenting Aboriginal Australia, Peris slammed Thorpe’s stunt, calling it an embarrassment.
“Her outburst, which disrupted what should have been a respectful event, was both embarrassing and disrespectful to our nation and the Royal Family.
“Senator Thorpe’s actions today do not reflect the manners, or approach to reconciliation of Aboriginal Australians at large.
“They only reflect her.”
An advocate for an Australian republic, Peris said Australia is on the way towards reconciliation.
Disruptive confrontation was not the way, she explained.
Reconciliation requires “respectful dialogue, mutual understanding, and a shared commitment to healing.”
Thorpe’s divisive actions don’t help.
“They draw attention away from the progress we are making as a country.”
After expressing her disappointment, Peris added an open apology to King Charles III and Queen Camilla, “on behalf of all those who value mutual respect and the dignity of our nation.”
“Lidia Thorpe’s actions today do not reflect all of our people’s views or values.”
Aboriginal Australians, Peris concluded, “recognise the importance of moving forward together as a unified nation.”
Calling Thorpe out on her hypocrisy, LNP opposition leader Peter Dutton said that if she doesn’t believe in the system, or the people she’s paid $250,000 a year to serve, Thorpe should resign.
Dutton told Seven’s Sunrise that she’s harmed her cause.
“We shouldn’t be giving her the attention.
“Somebody who doesn’t believe in the system, but is willing to take a quarter of a million dollars a year from the system, should resign in principle.”
Unsurprised, Spectator Australia editor Rowan Dean warned,
“Our parliamentarians get what they deserve.
“If they insist on flying Aboriginal flags, performing nonsensical smoking and welcoming ceremonies, and paying lip service to non-existent first ‘nations’, then don’t be surprised when this happens.”
He’s right. Though completely responsible, Thorpe isn’t completely to blame.
Australia’s unquestioning embrace of indigenous ethnocentrism, self-hating indoctrination, and woke historical revisionism, has emboldened far-left activism.
Thorpe hijacking the King’s visit with her tantrum-esque protest, is part of the broader contest between truth, and falsehood.
This was a far-left senator abusing her privileges to better serve her own self-interests, because intersectionality’s lies and half-truths make perpetual grievance politics profitable.
The former Greens senator has indicated she’ll leave parliament at the end of her tenure.
Thorpe should drop the intimidation and “intifada” tactics, or resign.

Thank you Rod for sharing this account of what occurred between Lidia Thorpe and the King. So many Australians were shocked by such lack of manners and felt embarrassed. Thankfully Indigenous Australians felt they were not being represented by her.
Notably, in contrast the indigenous men who met the King and shook his hand were acting in an honorable way, with courtesy and able to forgive the past or put it aside for the time being, as part of history that occurred 200 years ago.
I thank God also for Nova Peris being courageous enough to stand up against such disgraceful and uncalled for behavior by the Greens senator Lidia, and to say such behavior does not represent the Indigenous people of Australia.
Lidia said her motivation was prompted by asking to meet the King three times, but not receiving an invitation to meet with him privately. (Someone was wise enough to see this would not end well) but that type of thinking by Lidia is akin to the reaction of a 2yr old in a kindergarten scene, not a responsible adult holding a seat in the Senate.
The cartoon on Instagram of the king that ‘happened’ to come into being during the same time of this outlandish behavior was ‘criminal’ in my book. No matter who sent it, the picture should never have been on screen in the first place. It represents hate speech and degradation and is evil.
Hopefully, Lidia will start to understand that she is letting down her own people in all her displays of name calling, swearing and ‘acting out.’
As for the King, I am not sure he will forget the meeting- but he may be gracious enough to forgive.
Perhaps each way Albo could call a double dissolution just to enable the voting public in Victoria to get rid of her along with the rest of the Marxist Greens.
