Indigenous Commonwealth leaders are demanding an apology from King Charles III over colonisation.

Representatives from 12 countries have jointly written calling for reparation, acknowledgement of slavery's impacts, and the return of indigenous remains and cultural artefacts.

Independent Australian senator Lidia Thorpe says as the monarch, if King Charles has any decency - he'll do the right thing.

"And stop the pain and suffering of so many indigenous people around the world who've been affected by colonisation, which has left terrible impacts."
