This great country of ours.... for the moment!!

You are kidding, Queen arrives in Australia soon! :laugh:
I am so excited and I would love to go, but I don’t think it would be the same without Freddie Mercury. :'(

There will only ever be one Freddie!!!

nah, it'll take me too long to say what i really think so i'll just chip in with this.......................
............... god save the Queen, and when she's gone god save king Charles III -it would cost way too much to become a republic and even if she wasn't our head of state do you really think she would pay her own way to visit?......she doesn't when she or any of her family go to the US

at least you would have a team to back in the final this weekend if queenies decendants had'nt have claimed here first, and french is such a lovely language. ;D

Brian May is still one of the greats though.

Yes but 2 things would have happened, firstly we would all be dirty like the French, and secondly we wouldhave lost 2 world wars!!

if the French had got here first we wouldn't have to worry about tree huggers keeping us away from the bush, it would all be too radioactive to visit in the first place. and they had such a "great" record of looking after native populations compared to the UK...........oh and it would of been a lot easier for them to go into New Zealand and blow up ships - not that they needed any help doing that - lovely language maybe, but planetary terrorists that are great at starting wars and even better at losing them ;D

and the national flag would need changing if this place was french!!!

They have been saying that at her age this travel schedule would be grueling. A private jet, waited on hand on foot, private doctor, all expenses paid for.
Just to make her trip at little bit interesting, book her on Qantas and shove her in economy, give her a temp Medicare No and a couple of Mac's vouchers....we all have to make sacrifices due to the economy.

Bring on the Republic,
The protocol in dealing with the old cow is over the top, and why does she have the right to treat average people like peasants.
Off with her head.
-
Yeah bring on the republic... President Maguire or Rove... i think not!!
Bring on another vote... It'll get panned just like it did the last time in spite of ALL the media and so called celebrities!!!
-
Yeah.....bring on the republic........... ???
It worked so well in Zimbabwe. ;D
I hear Mugabe's looking for work.
Sadly were not as bad here as some, even despite our leaders best efforts to stuff us all :'( :'( :'(

Or Noel Pearson if you wanna go down that route!

I think the Queen is rather under appreciated. She's been the Queen since her dad died when she was 21 and she's now 85 and still hasn't retired. She's been the Queen through many Presidents and PM's (it's average of 1 every 4 years yes?). She's bought up kids that didn't end up in jail. Bloody good effort I say. And she's a Woman! An inspiration to woman everywhere I reckon.
She's here to open CHOGM, so I don't see why she should pay for herself. It's not a holiday ... it's work. If my work sends me somewhere they pay for it - accomodation, travel fees, food ... I have to pay for my own drinks. She doesn't come here often enough to send us broke anyway. Our Pollies are doing their best to do this on their own with no help from anyone.
OMG ... I've turned into a Monachist ... I thought I didn't give a rats, but seems I do. ;D

The French did get hear first, 3 days before Cook, it was a certain French bloke called La-Perouse, apparently he didn't like the place :cup:
We wouldn't be hear if it was settled by the French, or the Dutch or Potuguese, seeing as most of us are of Irish, Scottish and English decent!!

You never know, old Lizzy might get up on stage with our beloved " ranga" Julia as a duet, and belt out a few tunes on the karaoke mic to " Bhohemian Rapsody"
I wonder if that would help both their popularities in the poll.

Do you think Lizzy and Phil might take some time off their tour to do the gunshot creek crossing on their way to Cape York with a Bentley towing a T Van.

If your that rich you would still try it in a Bentley just to see if could be done, if it gets bogged just leave it and fly out via an overpriced VIP Helicopter ( air-conditioned of course).

I thought it was interesting that last week when everyone else was suffering because of Qantas cancellations..... Our beloved overworked pollies in canberra were able to use RAAF jets to get them home!!

I take it you never fly via personalized VIP helicopter without air conditioning. After all it's like taking a bath on your personalized jet without Cussions Imperial Leather Soap.

RAAF Jets Hmmm
Does that mean Maverick PM Bob Catter is really " Maverick"
Do our pollies play volley ball with their shirts off.
In the polls has Julia " lost that loving feeling" with the electorate.

The Queen has lived in luxury her entire life but she has also lived every minute in the 'spotlight'. This would drive the average person to anger very quickly yet she is always the epitome of grace and decorum and shows respect regardless of the circumstances. I cannot call myself a monarchist but I believe this woman deserves our respect in return. She has done nothing to harm Australia or its people, and is still formally our Head of State. Remember, the majority of Australian voters, by referendum, chose the Queen as head of state by rejecting the republican model.
"Dole bludger" is not a fair comment either. Great Britain relies heavily on the tourist revenue generated by the royal family and she CHOOSES to pay tax on her earnings - hardly the mindset of a dole bludger. I think we need to be more careful who we ridicule, and why we do it.

I dont agree with this sorry,Ithink the question in the referendum was misleading as most voted against the parliment electing our president,not that we didnt want a republic
"The 1999 referendum
On 6 November 1999 a referendum was held to see if Australian citizens wanted Australia to become a republic. A referendum is a special election to see if the country wants to change something in the constitution. For a referendum to be successful, both a majority of people and a majority of states have to say ‘yes’.
This referendum asked the country to decide whether they wanted a republic where the president was elected by a two thirds majority in parliament. 46% of Australian voters voted ‘yes’, while 54% voted ’no’ – which meant that the changes did not pass.
Many republicans, including Malcolm Turnbull, blamed John Howard for the failure of the referendum. Howard, who was prime minister of Australia at the time, publicly expressed his intention to vote ‘no’ in the referendum. A lot of pro-republic voters also voted ‘no’ because they felt that the method proposed for electing a president was undemocratic

I do not hate the Queen as a person, she is probably very nice, but I do hate what the royal family stands for, regardless of where they are, through history these families and sectors of them have persecuted, lied, killed and invaded countries for there own greed and lust for power and money.
She's not even of English ancestry.
My 2cents

That's a kicker isn't it!! A Scot ruling England ... oh how the English Monarchy would turn in their graves. Ironic?

Now a Welsh Dragon running Oz that is funny!!

OH NO ITS NOT!!!!!..........She ruining the joint!!! ;D

She's just a puppet.

Mrs Saxe-Coburg Gotha's ancestry is German. Her grandfather changed the name to Windsor (after the castle) during WW1 to reduce British public concern at the very obvious germanic name.
Similarly, her uncle's family changed their name from Battenburg to Mountbatten at the same time and for the same reason.
None of this affects whether or not Betty is a nice person, but demonstrates how the current royals are 'johanny come latelys' to 'Britain'.
For a genuine Scot to sit on the throne would require the re-establishment of the line of James the 1st of Scotland (2nd of England).
Of course, technically, since the Stone of Scone was 'lost' none of them have been properly crowned anyway! >:D
-
most of the English aren't English, they would be part Norman, part Saxon, part Dane etc etc - so Lizzy fits in well
-
You think old Lizzy and Phil will get some free time between official duties on their tour for a dirty night having a romp in the sack, or Saturday morning taking the Bentley down to Bunnings to pick up some crown polish, do some DYI classes and pick up a snag on a bun and a soft drink.
I bet ole Lizzy has a few ideas on home reno's and loves a discount sale, before she drives out of Bunnings car park with a few sheets of plywood and some 2 x 4 on the roof of the Bentley.

Im confused why people honestly get excited about the old bag coming here...
millions of ugly old people tour aussie every year, you can go down to Tulla airport and look at them any day of the week without billions of other nutters infront of you.
