It’s Time to Become a Republic
Yesterday Queen Elizabeth the Second died. She wasn’t Australia’s second Queen named Elizabeth, since the other Elizabeth reigned before Australia was ‘discovered’. Despite the fact that we have had no other Elizabeth’s we call her the second because the monarchy is an embarrassing relic of British rule. In this article I’ll be laying out why it’s even more humiliating than you thought.
To start with we obviously have to mention the sacking of Gough Whitlam by the Queen, and her representative, the Governor-General of Australia, John Kerr. Not only was that blatantly undemocratic, but possibly had CIA involvement. The Governor-General at the time, John Kerr, was a member of multiple CIA fronts. He was even referred to as “our man Kerr” by the CIA. The American Deputy Secretary of State later made a trip to Sydney to assure Whitlam that that was the last time they interfered in Australia’s democratic process. Having a head of state who is at best a CIA pawn and aiding and abetting antidemocratic CIA plots is sickening. As the British are finding out, we just don’t know the full extent of the Queen’s political involvement.
Now that that’s out of the way, I’ll talk about the stuff which is less Queen-specific. First of all, Australia’s head of state does not live in Australia. It is so unbelievably pathetic that the head of state actually being bothered to show up for once is a cause for celebration, but as you all know, it gets worse. Not only does our head of state never show up, but they are busy cheating on us with 14 other countries. Admittedly she rarely visited (visited!) most of those countries either; however she regularly had meetings with the Prime Minister of the U.K. and actually lived there. Dual nationals can’t even be MPs in Australia, while our head of state not only doesn’t live in Australia, but isn’t even Australian.
This currently appears when you visit the parliament’s website:
In my opinion a head of state should have slightly more than a ‘deep affection’ for the country and people they serve, but if a country was willing to put up with me not actually having anything to do with it at all and yet be its head of state, I would be pretty grateful too.
Now Queen Elizabeth, who enjoyed a lot of personal popularity, is gone, it’s time for Australia to become a republic.
