Thorpe's Royal Ruckus: Did She Go Too Far?
Remember that time Senator Lidia Thorpe, the outspoken Australian senator, crashed King Charles' Coronation? Yeah, it was a big deal. It was a total royal ruckus, with Thorpe shouting about "colonial violence" right in the middle of the big event.
Now, everyone's buzzing about it. Did she go too far? Was it just a publicity stunt, or was she really trying to make a point?
It's important to remember that Thorpe's always been a voice for indigenous Australians, and she's no stranger to making waves. She's slammed the Royal Family for their history of colonization, and she's outspoken about the need to "treaty up" with the Crown.
So, when Thorpe crashed the Coronation, she wasn't exactly throwing shade. She was using the platform to call out what she sees as the ongoing injustices of colonization. But was it the right way to do it? Was it just too much?
It's a tough question to answer. On one hand, you've gotta respect her commitment to her cause. She's not afraid to get in people's faces, even if it means rucking things up.
But on the other hand, it was a pretty huge event, and many people felt it was disrespectful to disrupt it. It definitely made a splash, but did it actually make a difference?
Ultimately, Thorpe's actions have started a big conversation about the legacy of colonization and the role of the monarchy in Australia. And that's something that's definitely worth talking about.
