Parliament disliked Charles because:
- He was somewhat a bighead who made a lot of bad decisions and thought he could do what he liked because his right to rule came from God.
- He kept asking them for money to pay his debts.
- They suspected he was a Catholic.
- He annoyed them by ruling without them for 11 years
- He tried to arrest 5 leading MPs.
Charles wanted to raise taxes but parliament didn't and then he dissolved parliament for 11 years.
Charles rarely opened Parliament, and they were angry with him for supporting Louis IX claim to the French throne. When Charles did open parliament he asked for money.
His conflicts with Parliament were so bad that it led to a civil war and Charles I being executed.
In a nutshell - Charles I believed in the Divine Right of Kings and wanted to rule as an 'absolute monarch'. Basically this means that he believed Parliament existed to serve him. Because Parliament believed differently, that the King ruled with Parliament and was not above the laws of the land, Charles and Parliament would clash and Charles would end up dismissing Parliament and trying to rule without them. A bit difficult to do, since Parliament held the purse strings. Charles would use what ever means he could find to raise money without having to recall Parliament, means that weren't always legal or ethical. In the end, when he was finally forced to call a Parliament, they turned on him; Charles tried to evict them, they refused to leave, he called an army and the Civil War began. In the end, Charles lost his head, his family went on the run and Cromwell ruled the country as dictator for several years.
I think it is because Charles I wanted to rule without parliament for a while and he married a Catholic Princess when most of his country were Protestants.

No. Charles Kingsford Smith was never a member of the Australian Federal parliament.
Parliament, which was full of Puritans, was thwarting King Charles' agenda. In a fit of pique, Charles disbanded Parliament.
