Lidia Thorpe heckled King Charles during his visit to Canberra last month .

She shouted "you are not my King" and "this is not your land" shortly after the King addressed the Great Hall of Parliament .

The Senate 's censure, which passed 46-12 , described Thorpe 's actions as "disrespectful and disruptive" and said they should disqualify her from representing the chamber as a member of any delegation.

A censure motion is politically symbolic but carries no constitutional or legal weight.
