Dear Rob,

Thanks for answering some aspects of the GG
position for me. I didn't realize that
there was no tenure.

Dear Country Gal,

As always what you've written most so much
sense. Thanks.

However, I'm not too sure whether the election
of a new Head of State by Parliament is going
to be a popular choice. It's my preference as
well. Most people I've spoken
to would prefer a general election to be held.

And again, this may not happen for a long time
yet.

Country Gal if you beleive that the GG should only be the rubber stamper for the Government would you not agree that evidence of the use of the rubber stamp, the Great SEAL OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA and the GG signature should be made available to the public ?

This is one of the roles of the GG but the entire Federal system is having difficulty providing any evidence of the use of this stamp or the GG's signature on the various documents, Royal Assent and Proclamations, required by the Parliament that you all take part in electing at the polls.

I am afraid to say that this GG has brought some very bad habits with her from Queensland to Canberra and if she does not correct the errors of the past she wont last very long at all.

She has all of the most suitable credentials for the appointment (bottom feeder Barrister) and has no excuse to claim ignorance for what has been going on.

Thanks Everyone for all your inputs.

They are greatly appreciated.

The next decade should prove to be an
interesting one.

I forgot to add this quote that I came
across while trawling the Web. It was made
by Edward VII (1841-1910), about his mother,
but it could have been made by Prince Charles
about his:

Edward VII (1841-1910) (On his lifelong wait for
the throne). "I don't mind praying to the
eternal Father, but I must be the only man in
the country afflicted with an eternal mother."
