God save the Queen : Comments

By Heidi Kingstone, published 20/6/2012

At the time of the Jubilee, polls showed the Queen enjoyed a popularity rating of 80 percent. Few other high-profile Western heads of state could equal that.

The Queen and her parasites are some of the richest on the planet.Why do they need god to save them when they oppress so many? Still they take taxes from the poor as a god given right?

Let the Royals eat cake and not sponge of us.

Even in the aftermath of the attrocities of the second world war, the Original Australians continued to be abused by the guvment of this foul and loathsome individual and their thugs.

They did not even begin to count them until 1967 and I wonder if until that point they still remained classified as animals under "Flora and Fauna Acts."

Of course, the theft of children aka "The Stolen Generations," the destruction of families etc was just the tip of the ice berg.

The extent to which people at large are ignorant of historical reality absolutely beggars belief.

What does the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family do, to deserve all this adoration, they get others at the British taxpayers expense to put on a big display of what!

There is one aspect of the republic debate that is never mentioned, and which I believe is central to the way most Australians view the monarchy - and that is the attitude of ordinary Australians to the political elite.

This is best expressed by the comment that the tragedy of every election is that the only way you can get rid of the governemnt is to elect the opposition.

Once I was only a lukewarm supporter of the monarchy. The thing that made me a enthusiastic supporter was the 11th November 1975, when the Prime Minister was dismissed by Her Majesty's representative. I find it hard to articulate how appalling I find all politicians, who have a simple directive from the people; That is to treble government spending, abolish all taxation, balance the budget and pay off the national debt - if necessary by selling politicians' assets. The thought of having a politician as head of state is simply appalling. The thing I am hoping for this year is that Tony Abbott will become Prime Minister before the 18th November, and that he will then advise the Queen to disallow the carbon tax under section 59 of the Constitution.

What a pathetic group Australians as a whole are?

A nefarious,parasitic, foreign tongue tied tourist muppet for a head of state and foreign military troops and bases on our shores.

You can bet if the butchers of beijing were running Australia straight out we wouldn't have something like 800 billion dollars going offshore to foreign interests from the proceeds of mining.

..

Inherently, I believe that Australians have great potential, but as long as the majority of you are so stupid as to vote for either of the major parties, then they will continue to sell you and this countries wealth and assets out to minority interests, many of whom are foreign, giving you little but an uncertain future and scraps from the table.

..

I suggest moving to a republic, getting rid of the foreign troops and their bases, and cradling in under favourable circumstances your own industries, and phasing out the foreign interests, except to the extent that we have relations with other states via trade that are equitable. That is to say, if Australians can't own land in Indonesia, then Indonesians can't own land in Australia. If Australian business people can't own farm and industrial kit with access to the base of the economy in china, then do not afford them the privilege of doing so here.
