In the interests of a bit of rationality being introduced what I propose is our own downunder Royality. It answers the needs of Monarchists and Republicans.

The Queen/King must become an Australian citizen. The Swedes did something similar when their royal house died out and they invited Napoleon to provide one of his marshals to rule the country in 1818 CE. Field Marshall Bernadotte took up the throne. Therefore Australia would be in it's rights to invite a member of the Windsors (nee Saxe-Coburgs) to take up the throne of Australia. Personally, I'd plumb for Anne, the Princess-Royale to take the title or one of her descendants. With Anne we would be guaranteed a relatively shortish span before one of her kids inherits the throne. She could take up residence at Yarralumla, replacing the Governor-General as Head of State.

Princess Anne?

The Princess Royal did not serve in the military herself,
but like many royals she holds a number of military honours and titles
and wears a military uniform when she wants to look important.

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

But I don't award myself these honorary titles as Anne did: Grin

Rear Admiral,
Vice Admiral,
Admiral ,
General in the British Army and
an Air Chief Marshal in the Royal Air Force.
Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal Canadian Navy,
Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal New Zealand Army Nursing Corps
and Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Australian Corps of Transport.

Supreme executive power derives from
a mandate from the masses
not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Dead right. She's being held at Goulburn Maximum Security, interrogated under Guantanamo Bay enhanced justice techniques and resuscitated when water gets in her lungs. Already she has confessed to inducing Arthur to terrorise the Lakes District with a nasty looking sword. Ned Kelly's gallows are being dusted off.

Of course. Charles is on the case and Navy divers report finding her submarine base. George I had some problems with her when he came ashore in 1714 by Parliament's invitation. You've worked hard on it and it's paying off.
