One Australian senator's high-profile outburst has sparked discussions about the injustices that impacted the nation's Aboriginal population.

Lidia Thorpe was removed from Parliament House after yelling at King Charles and accusing him of committing genocide yesterday.

Thorpe's actions were criticised by MPs, including Tony Abbott and Amanda Rishworth, for being disrespectful.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says Thorpe was also praised by others for shining a light on the wider issues.
