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.

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?

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.

John Smith wrote on Jul 29^th, 2024 at 7:12am:

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.

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? Cheesy

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).
