Morrison? Bond? Barnaby Joyce? Gina Rinehart? James Packer? Renting a hereditary HoS does have its functions as a bulwark against despotism. Huh? Australia isn't a republic? It is still ruled by the Queen? Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referenda don't usually pass in Australia. One the next attempt it probably will. At this point nobody is saying anything while the Queen is still alive.

The problem we have is that an unfair advantage is being given to the republican side. It’s not up to the government to push a particular outcome on people.” It's typical hypocrisy that they didn't complain about the Murdoch press putting its thumb on the scale during the last referendum.

I think that shows a lack of knowledge on how constitutions work. The Queen is head of state - and this was conformed in a referendum in 1999. It could be argued that the republican vote was split on the constitutional role and appointment of a future president - when in fact a majority of Australians actually wanted a republic.

I think you'll find that it couldn't happen again s the actions of Kerr at the time were considered by any to be illegal or unconstitutional and subsequent appointments would not be able to act the way he did.

I am not concerned with the details of Australian constitutional law, I just didn't know the Queen of England was Australian anything. All this time you have been acting like nothing was up and your Head of State was the Queen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyinBangrak Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Have to agree. After Harry and Meghan's antics I would favor the dissolution of the monarchy after the Queen passes. Prince Charles is ruined due to the almost certainly misleading allegations that a member of the RF was concerned about Archie's possible skin color, what with one parent being the whitest black person ever and the other a virtual albino. Ditto for Wills and Kate. I would favor all land and houses they own to be used for homing homeless native people who have been dicriminated against. With retired service members given priority. Some good can come from the sad end to a British Institution. Thanks Harry and Megs. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I am an adamant royalist, but I think she is a very special lady. That said - all her offspring are clowns ! Charlie should not bother and just hand it over to his son and Kate, Did that the monarchy may continue as there is feeling for those two, but with charles at the helm the monarchy could be doomed .....but please tell me honestly for what you need a queen or king? All the wealth were coming from citizens over hundreds of years. Do you feel good having been exploited over centuries? And nowadays you keep them like pets? Feeding them getting excited when you'll see them in their crazyness. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
