Tho' the Coronation did have a traumatic effect on us way back then, we had to learn a new song for school assembly, instead of "God Save the King" we had to learn "God Save the Queen". It were 'orrible. |

Yeah for some reason the older ppl like her though. After Elizabeth II is gone we will figger out a way to be monarchy free. Last time the choices were wrong. They (the govt) obviously wanted to keep the monarchy @ that time. When they will let us go they will give us more reasonable choices.

Next time the English born won't be eligible to vote. That way we get a true picture of what the Australian people want.
My English friend were frantic, they actually believed that if we broke away from the Commonwealth and they hadn't nationalised, they'd be sent packing. Come on bring it on. Are you an Australian citizen cods? It's ok, we won't send you back, they don't want you anyway after deserting the sinking ship. |

My father was Scottish and came to Australia as a child with his family. He was never naturalised (which I think would be a more correct term to use rather than nationalised) but was able to vote and do anything an Australian citizen could do except stand for election to parliament and, if I remember correctly, be a Justice of the Peace. It goes back to the old notion that being British and being Australian were pretty much the same thing. That all changed some time ago (was it in the 1970s?) but it wasn't made retrospective, so any British citizens who came to Australia as permanent residents prior to the change retained the right to vote. |

Sex attacker invited onto Royal Barge with Queen
A SEX offender who posed as a doctor to prey on women was a guest of the Queen on the Royal Barge during last weekend's Diamond Jubliee celebrations in London. Harbinder Singh Rana, 52, was jailed in the 1980s for a series of attacks on women, who believed he was a doctor, in which he performed internal examinations and administered injections. Rana served four years for his crimes but has since reinvented himself as a pillar of the community. And in an astonishing error of judgment the charity director was allowed to mingle with VIPs on the Royal Barge during Sunday’s River Pageant. During the afternoon sail, Rana came into close contact with every senior royal including Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. The convicted sex attacker was at times during the 1000 boat extravaganza only metres from the Queen herself. The former management consultant was invited to join the exclusive celebrations by Prince Charles in his capacity as community leader. Harbinder Singh Rana with Prince Charles in 1999. He is understood to have met the prince through his charity work for the Anglo-Sikh heritage trail, a group that promotes Sikh culture in Britain... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/sex-attacker-invited-onto-royal-barge-with-queen/story-e6frf7lf-1226387471999 |

Interestingly while the rest of the civilized world celebrates their democracies British people, without having a choice, have to celebrate their dictatorship and the longest serving colonial dictator in the world in kichy and tasteless ceremonies that so much remind on North Korian communist parades.
We hope that democracy and the end of dictatorship will come to Brittan and it’s colonies as well as it's happening in Middle East at the present. Our future Queen Loyal colonial subjects salute the Queen |

In the 2012 Heritage Foundation rankings of global economic freedom, eight of the top ten nations are current or former realms of the Crown, including the top four: Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand. So are about half of the 20 economies with the highest GDP per capita, and for large countries with populations over 20 million the top three is an Anglosphere sweep: Australia, Canada, the United States. Three-sevenths of the G7 are nations of British descent, and so are two-fifths of the permanent members of the UN Security Council. Of course, no record is unblemished, and in the fringes and fag-ends of empire lurk Gaza, Pakistan and Zimbabwe.
Nevertheless, from South Africa to India, today the key regional powers in almost every corner of the globe are British-derived — and, even among the lesser players, as a general rule you’re better off for having been exposed to British rule than not: Why is Haiti Haiti and Barbados Barbados? The Queen could say this, in one almighty blow-out Christmas message to remember, but it’s not her style. Is the monarchy anything to do with the unrivaled record of the Britannic inheritance? Working for the Free French in London during the war, Simone Weil found herself pondering why, among the European powers, only England had maintained ‘a centuries-old tradition of liberty’. She was struck by the paradox of the Westminster system — that ultimate power is vested in one who cannot wield it in any practical sense. Endowing the sovereignty of the nation in an absentee monarch — as Australia does — is an even more exquisite refinement of the Weil theory: vesting power in its literal rather than merely political absence. What Malcolm Turnbull objects to most — she doesn’t live here! — is what I find most appealing. A minimalist monarchy is perhaps the most benign form of government one could devise — except that no hyper-rationalist would ever ‘devise’ such a thing at all. http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/politics/2012/june/vivat-regina |

Sounds pretty dodgy to me. Hong Kong is ruled by the Chinese communist party dictatorship. Singapore has been ruled by the Lee family for more than 40 years and public gatherings a banned. Opposition party politicians are often bankrupted out of existence with defamation lawsuits - one of them fled to Australia, and I have met him. Singaporean are required to carry ID cards that show the person's race. Minority races are forbidden from joining elite military groups. There are also strict limits on where ethnic groups are allowed to live. Australia has some of the most draconian "anti-terror" laws in the world, and no charter of human rights.
