THE republican movement is in disarray. It is split several ways: whether to promote an elected or appointed president with or without reserve powers, whether to campaign against the Queen, whether to campaign on a single fake issue and most importantly, those who are dismayed by all this and demand a more serious approach.
THE Queen has delivered a public backhander to Labor leader Anthony Albanese and his republican cheer squad after they knowingly lied about her part in the Whitlam dismissal. Even after the dismissal documents were publicly released proving no palace plot, Albanese and his republican mates “pretended” otherwise.
THE ABC has been accused of supporting Marxist ideology – aimed at turning Australians against each other – as it sides with extremists’ demands to topple national statues. In a lopsided piece appearing on its public-funded on-line service, the ABC this week argued the case for removing statues of prime ministers, monarchs and white settlers.
PRO-REPUBLIC campaigners have engaged in a “pitiful” attack on Australia’s freedom-loving system of government comparing it to living in a down-trodden, socialist State.
It has compared Australia’s constitution to that of a subjugated nation wracked by servitude, exclusion and disadvantage.
THE Abbott Government was dishonestly and deliberately sabotaged by an angry Australian media after Prince Philip was awarded the nation’s highest civilian honour in 2015.
The uncontained fury from Canberra’s pro-republic press gallery became so severe it laid bare their agenda to tear down the then Prime Minister.
