Call for Victorian authorities to ‘dismantle’ camp of Indigenous activists in Kings Domain

Sky News host Rita Panahi has called for Victorian authorities to take swift action to “dismantle” a camp set up by Indigenous activists in Kings Domain. “Kings Domain is for all Victorians, always was, always will be, or at least it should be unless we are betrayed by milquetoast politicians desperate to appease the unappeasable,” she said. The activists, including Robbie Thorpe, the uncle of Senator Lidia Thorpe, are demanding Kings Domain be renamed and handed to the Indigenous community, with Mr Thorpe vowing to remain in the park until his demands are met. “It would be wrong to assume that the action taken by Mr Thorpe and other radicals is supported by all Indigenous Australians,” Ms Panahi said. “But too often that is the simplistic view offered by the media who uncritically accept and regurgitate whatever tripe the activist class feeds them.”
