Oliver Peterson: Australian correspondent on Senator Lidia Thorpe heckling King Charles at Parliament House - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

King Charles and Queen Camilla's visit to Australia hasn't run as smoothly as expected.

Security staff have removed Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe after she yelled ' not my king' and 'F the Colony' at the King after his speech at Parliament House today. 

Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says Thorpe's views aren't representative of the wider opinion. 

"It's been the only speedbump in what has been, overall, a really joyous occasion. All the 24-hour news channels are wall to wall with people going to see King Charles."
