During a visit to Australia's capital, King Charles III delivered a speech at the country's Parliament House, where he acknowledged the First Nations people. He noted their history as the original inhabitants before British settlements were established. Following the address, an Australian Independent Senator disrupted the proceedings by heckling the monarch. This incident highlighted ongoing tensions and discussions around the recognition and rights of Indigenous Australians in the context of the nation's colonial past. The King's acknowledgment was seen as a significant gesture in addressing these historical issues.
