700 K for Albo mate to attend tea parties on behalf of the king?

I'm not saying his out of touch I'm saying his unelectable?

How can you give someone a 200k pay rise in this cost of living crisis ATM to be a figure head of British rule ( while she's a Republican) just don't past any test.

Hoping to hear the Labor faithful defend this ?

That's peanuts, the sovereign gets a dollar, 60million of them. Yanks love their royals.

Can you elaborate?

What's a GC?

Who's getting this pay rise?

What is their current salary?

Sorry I'm obtuse

More details without my commentary

A question I also put forward as the GC is the kings person in Australia to protect great Britain interest.

Why are the Australian taxpayer paying her wage at all?

She works exclusively for one of the three riches people in the world.

Why shouldn't the monarchy pay her wages rather than the average Australian ?

A governor cheneral, Gregg.... something we don't need and especially when it's just a cushy job for an old mate as reward for sticking to the party line and whatever else is needed... standing behind the barricades on all The Causes will get you a good gig.... question is always - are you worth it in any way?

This is the worst 'captain's call' in the history of giving a mate a job ....  FFS.... I'd support women's and other lies if they paid me that much... actually - no I wouldn't.... the last boy scout.....  wanna hear me scream?  Tie me up and make me watch Olympic Rap Dancing...

The GG ruled Virgin Australia, a female employer and religious order. Vestal Virgins perform a celebration at the Temple of Hera,
who was Governor General for Zeus, and carry the Olympic Torch.  Hera was his wife and sister of incest in the gay environment. Equal pay for women gives Canberra MPs an obscene amount and they pass the buck to the GG.

That's "GG" not "GC" .. whatever that is? ;D

That aside - the pay rise is ridiculous... like most things Albanese does.

The salary of the GG is set by the Governer general act on 1974, and not by Albo.

It takes into account any existing pensions owing, which the previous GG Hurley had, and which Sam Mostyn does not. Hence the 'pay rise'. It has nothing to do with Albo.

So Albo lacks the ability to put forward legislation changing the act from 1974?

Isn't that actually his job?

To create laws?

The Government has introduced legislation to increase the salary of the Governor-General from $495,000 to $709,017.
This changes s3 of the Governor General Act.

GOVERNOR-GENERAL ACT 1974 - SECT 4AH
Allowance Orders
(1)  The Minister may, by legislative instrument, make Allowance Orders providing for matters:

(a)  required or permitted by this Act to be provided.

As an Australian appointed by Australians, the GG accepts whatever comes along and will be stuck with the 700,000 bucks.

Any MP can put forward legislation to change the act. You can just as easily blame Mr Potatoe head or Bob katter as you can Albo.

What about Fraser, Howard, Abbott, Turnbull, or Morrison?

There is no British monarchy as Charles is only king of Oz for the GG.  In 1973 the English monarchy was sacked:
'Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth'.  Centrelink doesn't even pay Charles pension.

'Governor-General Legislation Amendment Act 2001
(Circulated by authority of the Prime Minister, the Hon J W Howard MP)
Section 3 of the Governor-General Act 1974 provides that the annual sum payable for the salary of the Governor-General shall be $58,000.
Item 1 omits the annual sum of $58,000 and substitutes a new annual sum of $310,000'.

That's over 500% for rent, electricity and cat food.

All Governor Generals have been very wealthy people and are provided with a residence and servants as part of their benefits which means the total cost of the Governor General and its associates and benefits is likely over $2 million a year.

It appears that the concept of voluntary unpaid community service only applies to poor people.

Several US millionaires are on the list for volunteer king of UK, no pay. Hamas has voluntary leadership except people insist they keep their pay, so what choice do they have?

Yes, and I return to my previous point.

It's the kings person in Australia to oversee the kings interests are protected.

Why does the average Australian convict pay the Bill?

Why doesn't the king pay?

His Majesty owns the cotton fields and the serfs in the castle vegetable gardens.  He gets 10% of gay pride profits, free coal and iron ore and may sell the Harbour Bridge for Camilla's fashion expenses. Enough is enough.

Jesus, boy - that's twice in a single year you've been correct!!!  A random collision of the two brain cells, eh?

On another forum when someone who supports chopping up kids says I'm the crazy one - then I know I'm on the right track.  What madness of non-thinking would drive anyone remotely intelligent to the belief that such a monstrosity is good in any way?  This guy was some kind of teacher in the US - school summer holidays there bring them out to blink owlishly in the brightness of reality ..... try out their pet ideological positions - and go down in flames like a vampyre too long in the sun ... they hate it.  All those weeks preaching 'equity' to dopey kids about kid chopping etc, and then they confront reality... it's just like the smoke-filled back room at Party HQ ... where every idea sounds great, looks good on paper in  a closed echo chamber ... and is not worth five cents for a truckload on the open FREE market.

Hang 'em and hang 'em high!

He owns the NSW convicts and premiers such as Gladys. She asked him for a paper bag of cash to give her boy-friend at Wagga Wagga but Camilla got in  first and didn't want Charles to front ICAC but the US President can't be convicted for fraud and bribes so the money should be OK now. However, the Royalist Party will lose elections if Charles does try it on and Albo will trash him.

"Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!"

We want Harry for our G-G.....  he's a good sport with a bit of the larrikin about him... he'd fit right in here...

A republican royal is the way to go and St George is patron of Moscow, the larrikin.

Irrespective of that ......


Quote:

Patrick Gorman, the assistant minister to the prime minister, introduced a bill into federal parliament on Monday morning which would raise the salary for the governor general from $495,000 to $709,017.

So it had shyte loads to do with Albo.

There's no way this GG should be on that sort of salary.......

especially in light of Albanese & Labor being committed to Australia becoming a Republic.


Quote:

Following Labor's victory in the 2022 federal election, the new Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, appointed Matt Thistlethwaite to the newly created office of Assistant Minister for the Republic, signalling a commitment to prepare Australia for a transition to republic following the next election.

So whilst the position of the GG(the Kings Representative in Australia) still exists he's appointed a Captains call(jobs for the girls) person in Sam Mostyn.

Are you saying he should do away with the GG and move us towards a republic before the public votes on it?  :D :D :D :D

Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902 granted most Australian men and women the right to vote and to stand in federal elections.
Women were thought to be humans at that time and are being domesticated. Some read and write and can tick the boxes which helps the GG to sign in ministers. A republican man president of Oz would cost a bit to feed (but he wouldn't need to give the Canberra profits to HM the King).
