The Senate has reprimanded Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe over her protest at a parliamentary ceremony for King Charles during the monarch's Australian tour.
Government leader Penny Wong said the senator's outburst sought to "incite outrage and grievance".
"This is part of a trend that we do see internationally which, quite frankly, we do not need here in Australia," Senator Wong told parliament on Monday.
Senator Thorpe protested against the King and Queen Camilla during a welcome reception at Parliament House in October.
The Gunnai, Gunditjmara and Djab Wurrung senator said the monarch had "committed genocide against our people" and urged him to "give us what you stole from us - our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people".

"This censure motion shows where the major parties' priorities lie," Senator Thorpe posted to Instagram.
"They don't stand with First Peoples in this country ... preferring instead to defend a foreign king, rather than listen to the truth."
Senator Thorpe said that as a sovereign Gunai, Gunditjmara, and Djab Wurrung woman, she will continue to fight and stand for justice.
"I will not be silenced, erased or removed. I will continue to call out racial violence, colonial occupation, and the ongoing genocide experienced by First Peoples’ in this country and across the world," she said and tore up a paper copy of the censure motion.
Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi decried the motion and called on politicians to listen to the concerns of Indigenous Australians.
"The bubble of white privilege that encapsulates this parliament is a systemic issue," she said.
"That's why we are here today, debating a Blak senator being censured for telling the truth of the British crown's genocide on First Nations people and telling it the way she wants to."
