DESPERATE for that silver bullet which will drop some politicians’ republic into their laps, Australia’s official republicans rushed to capitalise on Soap Oprah, as the Daily Telegraph headlined what threatens to be serialised into “Les pensées sublimes de la duchesse souffrante”. Much of what was claimed is fiction.
OPPORTUNISTIC pro-republicans have completely misread the public mood, demanding Australia break ties with the monarchy at a time when support for Queen Elizabeth is surging.
In the wake of a nasty tell-all interview with two of the world’s most privileged “victims”, Australia’s anti-monarchist politicians scrambled to cash-in after the royal family was called racist and mean.
THE future of Australia’s current system of government has never looked more secure according to Australians for Constitutional Monarchy National Convenor David Flint. Speaking at the organisation’s 21st National Conference in Sydney yesterday, Prof Flint said a referendum held today would result in a bigger landslide than the 1999 referendum result.
PRO-REPUBLICANS have commenced their strategy to upend Australia’s constitution by painting Prince Charles as untrustworthy and at odds with Australia’s national interests. Having repeatedly failed to turn citizens against Queen Elizabeth – republicans are now attempting to demonise her heir and so heartlessly capitalise on the Queen’s age.
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 extraordinary plans afoot in Canberra for Malcolm Turnbull, Paul Keating, Kevin Rudd, or someone of their ilk, to succeed Queen Elizabeth in her capacity as Queen of Australia were noted in my comment in The Spectator Australia earlier this year. Under a plan concocted by Victorian federal Labor MP Julian Hill, this is to be achieved without a referendum.
ACCORDING to republicans, Australia should emulate China.
The front page banner headline on the London Daily Express (21/5) proclaimed a disturbing message: “Monarchy on the brink”.
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.
Today is a moment in history with the Queen following her father, George VI, in celebrating such a momentous occasion for there was a time when so many believed that Britain would fall under the jackboots of the Nazi terror.
Extraordinary plans are afoot in Canberra for Malcolm Turnbull, Paul Keating, Kevin Rudd or someone of their ilk to succeed Queen Elizabeth in her capacity as Queen of Australia.
This is to be done through the back door, not by the people, but by the politicians doing a deal among themselves.
