Australia

The Australian Senate has formally censured Aboriginal Senator Lidia Thorpe for heckling King Charles during his visit to Canberra last month. Thorpe shouted, “You are not my King” and “This is not your land” after the King addressed the Great Hall of Parliament, aiming to spotlight the effects of British colonisation on Indigenous Australians.  

Australia’s government is set to introduce new legislation banning under-16s from social media. The PM announced that the proposed law, which will be tabled in parliament next week, is designed to reduce the “harm” caused by social media.
