BLOCKBUSTER: Australia tells the crown to kiss off with “King Charles” and demands independence
A sugar coated Reuters report for sure, but it is all between the lines (still)
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australians on Friday mourned the death of Queen Elizabeth, but republicans also revived a longstanding debate on ending the country’s association with the 1,000-year-old monarchy.
The British monarch is the head of state in Australia, among 14 realms outside the United Kingdom, although the role is largely ceremonial.
Australia has long debated the need to keep a distant monarch. A 1999 referendum in Australia on becoming a republic lost with 55% of voters opposed.
“Our thoughts are with her family and all who loved her. Now Australia must move forward,” said Australian Greens Party leader Adam Bandt, a prominent republican.
"We need Treaty with First Nations people, and we need to become a Republic," he wrote on Twitter.
My comment: "We need to become a Republic, you know, as in “And to the republic, for which it stands!”. American kids were told all along the Queen had no real power. What’s up with that??? Was that done so someone could push feminism along??? Second most potent country on earth for so long, many times the most potent, with the most potent figure being a woman does not work well for the feminist mantra, does it?.
