Australian politicians from both sides have denounced Independent indigenous Senator Lidia Thorpe's expletive-laden outburst at King Charles' reception in Canberra.  

Thorpe, a Senator for Victoria, began yelling as the King's speech ended and claimed he'd committed genocide against her people.  

She says the King destroyed her land, and the country wants a treaty.  

Australia correspondent Donna Demaio told Ryan Bridge it's been labelled childish.  

She says front-benchers from both sides say it was grandstanding and failed miserably.
