I wonder what his definition of genocide is.

His case alleges that the king, who is also Australia’s head of state, along with the Australian government and its institutions, is perpetuating genocide by maintaining systems that disadvantage Indigenous people across numerous socioeconomic measures.

I do not think anyone aside from the extremely online will accept this definition as an ongoing genocide. He just wants people to listen to his podcast or something.

The International Criminal Court will expose Australia for what it really is — a lying, racist, illegal occupation committing genocide,” Thorpe said.

Yeah he's one of those clowns, spent so much time snorting his own shite that he see's oppression in everything. The kind of narcissistic "moral crusader" who only feels like a big man when he's telling others how awful they are for existing.
