Dear Paul,

When I look at the US - a country that produces people
like Donald Trump, I appreciate the stability of King
Charles and the monarchy. King Charles has made it quite
clear that it is up to the people of Australia to decide
where their future lies.

As for Senator Thorpe? Of course she is entitled to her
opinion. However, while choosing to run for a government
position - she should not bite the hand that feeds her.
She should have the common decency to know what's
expected of a person in that officialt position. She
could have done things in a different way.

By her actions she did more harm than good. But then she's
been grandstanding all along. Her "Black Power" salutes
are provocative. Which is what she does best. Provoke -
and divide, not gain support and unite. And achieving nothing
selling newspapers.

I prefer Megan Davis and Marcia Langdon.

It is now known that thuggish Thorpe advised the media before the even that she intended to burst in, insulting and abusing the King.

Had the information been passed on, the lunatic could have been stopped at the door. But, there wouldn't have been another story about this horrible woman publicising herself.

It's hard to know which group is the biggest danger to Australia and Australians: elected politicians, unelected bureaucrats, or the main stream media.

It is concerning when we see democratic decline which
has ramifications throughout society. This impacts
certain changes in public attitudes. The decline in
independent media is a concern, as is the decline in
a vibrant education system. And an engaged civil society.

All are very concerning.

Hi Foxy,

There has been a decline in the "Western Democratic Process" for some time. On Lidia Thorpe, a healthy democracy needs people voicing non-violent radical opinions, not lies in way Trump does, but opinions, and their voice should be heard as it is important to arouse pubic thinking on issues. If Thorpe "insulted" Charles, which I don't believe she did, her actions give attention to the issue of Aboriginal sovereignty in a way that other well meaning people more moderate in their approach than Thorpe have failed to achieve in more than 200 years.

ttbn asks; "It's hard to know which group is the biggest danger to Australia and Australians" The answer is the violent extremists like the "Black Ninjas" in Melbourne recently who want to silence opposition, and other opinion by all means possible.

The King has managed to take the shine of his visit by reverting to his old habits, in Samoa, of chuntering on about climate change, “disinformation” and all the political nonsense best left to crappy politicians and activists. All very unbecoming for a Monarch.

I don't think that the King has any official or real
input into what countries like Australia who are
constitutional monarchies do. He may be our Head of
State - but he does not interfere in the running of our
country.
