PM Albanese Sucking Up To King Charles
May 8^th, 2023 at 7:07am

PM ALBANESE SUCKING UP TO KING CHARLES IS BEYOND EMBARRASSING
2023-05-05
greens.org.au
The Australian Greens have announced Deputy Leader Senator Mehreen Faruqi as their new spokesperson on the Republic.

Senator Faruqi has criticised Prime Minister Albanese for his decision to attend King Charles’ coronation and pledge allegiance to the new monarch.

Senator Faruqi said:

“The only reason Prime Minister Albanese should be going to the UK to meet King Charles is to tell him that we are finally cutting the apron strings.

“Now would be the perfect time to double down on becoming a republic, but instead the Prime Minister is swearing loyalty to an outdated institution.

“During a brutal cost of living and housing crisis, it is disgusting that the Prime Minister has made it a priority to fly to the UK to bask in the excesses, pomp and pageantry of an institution so out of touch with everyday people.

“The British Monarchy and their obscene wealth is a racist, colonial institution built on the blood, backs and stolen wealth of brown and black people. The violent legacies of British colonialism are felt by people and countries all over the globe, including here in Australia, a nation born of dispossession and violence.

“More and more of us are waking up to the historic crimes of the British Royal Family and wanting to cut ties with the British Monarchy. But while nations like Barbados are becoming a republic and speaking truth about empire, the Prime Minister is taking us backwards with his cringeworthy behaviour.

“Pledging allegiance to the head of another country is woeful. We should have an Australian head of state.

“Becoming a republic is an important step towards achieving racial justice on this continent. Moving to a republic has to be done hand in hand with truth-telling and Treaty for First Nations people.

“Prime Minister Albanese’s tepid commitment to the republic movement is yet another example of Labor trying to have it both ways."

The prime minister of any Commonwealth country has a tradition of attending Royal occasions, especially the Coronation. In this case, our PM is supposed to be above politics, as representative of all Australians. And while the Greens bleat on about this, they only show how crass and unstatesmanlike they are. As for any oath taken by Albanese, I have not seen it, and the accusation may be a lie.

No political allegiance. No philosophy. No religion.

Royalty is a waste of money – all symbolic.
All the Queen’s or King’s representatives –
the Governor of Victoria or the Governor General do is rubber stamp legislation.
It’s an expensive rubber stamp.
Only 2 bills of parliament were ever stopped in Victoria by the Governor 170 years ago:

The Governor of Victoria, having objected to two Bills passed by Parliament in the 1850s,
received advice from the colonial government to refuse assent to them.
These are the only occasions on which the Royal assent has been refused locally in Victoria,
and one of the very few such incidents in Australian history.

No - it's just another rubber stamp:

The Australian Choice Model ensures the role of Head of State is ceremonial in nature,
with limited powers to safeguard and maintain the constitutional order and resolve political gridlock.

An Australian rubber stamp which resides in Australia, and is not born into the position.

A much, much better (although not perfect) alternative.

I want someone who has the guts to reject unfair legislation -
at least it would have stopped the despot dictator Dan Andrews in Victoria
during the Covid crisis -
he forced people to accept medical procedures against their will
in violation of every human rights charter ever written -
even against the Nuremberg principles that war criminals were hanged for.

Do you want a Head of State who lives here and who is not born into the position?

That would be better -
but I want someone who has the guts to take on the Govt.
when presented with outrageous legislation -
not a rubber stamp.
