Thorpe Vs The Commonwealth
Since the 1990’s Uncle Robbie Thorpe has been taking legal action against the Commonwealth of Australia for acts of Genocide against Aboriginal people (See Thorpe v The Commonwealth from 1997).
This most recent case is against King Charles III for Genocide and Ecocide
This case is being pursued by Uncle Robbie Thorpe, along with Aunty Alma Thorpe and Aunty Marj and seeks that the King be summonsed to Australia to answer for the acts of genocide and sign a confession document acknowledging these acts and right the wrongs of the past and present day.
