King Charles’ first visit to Australia as monarch laid bare a lot of unfinished business.

Moments after the king sat down following an address to the Great Hall in Parliament House, independent Senator Lidia Thorpe was escorted out after shouting “you are not our king” and “this is not your land”.

It didn’t just bring home the fact that, despite a failed referendum in 1999, the Australian republican movement is still alive – it also highlighted that the more recent failed referendum on a Voice to Parliament has far from settled any of the issues around Truth, Treaty and justice.

Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno, on the demands from Australia and other colonies for justice and reparations.
