Channel Seven star is forced to delete offensive slur about Lidia Thorpe

King Charles and Queen Camilla have another busy schedule ahead of them for their fifth and final day in Australia.

It comes after a chaotic day in Canberra on Monday where independent senator Lidia Thorpe made a wild outburst at the King following his speech in Parliament House.

The senator and Indigenous rights activist repeatedly shouted ‘you are not my King’ while also labelling Charles a ‘genocidalist’ and cried out ‘f*** the colony’ as she was dragged out of the Great Hall by security.

Ms Thorpe has defended her actions and said she will continue to ‘fight for justice’ until a treaty is made.

High-profile entertainment reporter Peter Ford unleashed on Lidia Thorpe following her sudden outburst towards the King at Parliament House on Monday.

He has since been forced to remove a tweet where he labelled the independent senator a ‘skank’, but did not apologise for the remark.

‘So yesterday in commentary about Lidia Thorpe I used a word in this space that some people (who I trust not ‘outraged’ people on Twitter) thought was unfair,’ he wrote on X on Tuesday morning.

‘Although it’s a word you’d hear on Kath and Kim I have deleted it. I wanted to make a point not cause offence. Cheers. PF.’

He’d taken aim at Ms Thorpe over her rant towards the King and called her the offensive remark in two separate comments on X.

‘She’s such a skank,’ he said in one post.  ‘Nice thoughts, but no she’s still a skank,’ he said in another.

When another X user accused him of being misogynistic, the entertainment reporter doubled down.  ‘You may not like the term – and think it unfair – but it’s not misogynistic,’ he replied.

At the time of Ms Thorpe’s interruption of the reception at Parliament House, Ford called her a ‘shocker’.

‘So everyone must respect the Welcome To Country ceremonies. But Lidia – who signed oath to the Crown – doesn’t have to respect the reigning Monarch when choosing to be in his presence,’ he wrote.  ‘What a shocker she is!’
