Thorpe's objection to the voice stated that if Indigenous Australians were to accept the terms, it would have amounted to a treaty, something that none of the many groups of Indigenous Australians have ever consented to, and arguing that it would be, and I quote, "...an easy way to fake progress."
She has instead supported the Pay the Rent campaign, named after a lyric in an iconic Indigenous rights song that encourages Australians to voluntarily pay reparations. So look, her protest directly to King Charles, you heard her there saying, you know, give us our land back, you stole our land.
Right.
Caricom, a group of 15 Caribbean governments, are likely to call for reparations that could exceed £200 billion. But Starmer has said reparations were not on his agenda, which is in line with the former Tory government who repeatedly resisted calls for a payout.
I mean, look... Most British people are not aware of the UK's role in colonising Australia. Well, I mean, certainly not aware of the role in, I mean, let's be frank, mass killing. Indigenous Australians killed. I think it's a genocide. It's an absolute genocide, yeah. And we have a collective amnesia about this. You know, so Thorpe mentions in the clip, you know, our children, our babies.
So that's a reference to the Stolen Generation where children of indigenous mothers were taken from their families to live with white Australians. I mean, how grotesque is that? You know, and it's really hard to deny that her protest, you know, it was just incredibly successful. I mean, it put it on the world stage. We're sitting here having a conversation about it now.
So, you know, I'd have to say if we were doing Hero of the Week, I might put her in for it.
Yeah. And it was also not that long ago, which also gives me lots of chills.
Oh, really?
Some weird form of couple therapy. I've no idea.
Well, I mean, that quote tells you that.
That is, Ugh, all of that, that whole, that all gives me the ick, all of that. It's really horrific.
You don't offer like a sort of, you know, for a higher price, you get a VIP service where it's just you and them, is it? That's not like, you know, like Taylor had some of those experiences.
The Nishkumar Findom experience. Buy a ticket, spend your money and then just get really abused.

And I'm Coco Kahn. With just two weeks to go until the autumn budget, Labour is preparing to make some huge reforms. But how ruthless is Keir Starmer willing to be in reshaping the UK? We're speaking to ITV's political editor, Anushka Astana, to find out.
One week on from the great big reset inside Number 10, suddenly it seems like there's a flurry of activity from the government. It's a nice change from the month of stasis, but with a lifeless opposition and a stonking majority, are we about to see some radical reforms?
