Next time could there be a return to a Governor General who isn't constantly seeking personal celebrity on the world stage?

One who could spend more time at home and pressing the flesh with Joe Public.

Rudd's appointment. Their jet trails must have criss-crossed often up there in the rarefied atmosphere heading for those exclusive international hotels in the tourism Meccas.

Than god their *expletive* doesn't smell and they know how to live! Thank god they always presume to know what is best for everyone else!

Having thought about it for a few days, my opinion is that the Governor General overstepped the mark when she used a public forum to promote her personal views on a political issue.

Irrespective of the views of individuals who agree or disagree with her, she has effectively brought the office into disrepute by using it as a platform. Unless, of course, she was acting under instructions from the Palace, and conveying the views of our Head of State. Which is unthinkable, as it is against all the conventions of a constitutional monarchy.

So in my view it can only have been the act of a selfish and willful narcissist. And one that will undoubtedly add significant weight to the republican movement.

If that had actually been her objective all along, of course, then what we have seen is an extremely clever and finely judged piece of constitutional theatre.

I wonder.

A couple of mates are strange, one married a cow and the other married a pig! Yep, down at the boozer, Blue's always say'n "her the misses, the bloody old cow." and Jazza is always on about his old sow at home, been married to her 35 years, the fat old porker. Hate to see the kids. LOL.

At least I'll bet they aren't peroxide blonds, wearing pastel suits that are about 35 years too young for an old boiler.

As if anyone cares what the lefty old duck thinks anyway. In the words of the song, "what the hell would she know". However when she is representing us, using a title conferred on her by us, wearing clothes paid for by us, on a trip paid for by us, she has no damn right to a public opinion.

Even worse, for the queens representative to express such thoughts such as this shows what an opinionated old fool she is.

God help Australia. God help us seriously help us.
No boundaries any more. No marriage boundaries, no behaviour boundaries.

No Australia!
No honouring the foundations which have
Given us this great country. May God help us in this land.
May He have the last word... And He Will.
We are ultimately responsible to Him,
and accountable to Him for what we do

So it is best He has first place in our lives.
Money, power and or status, will not "cut it" in the end.
King Solomon figured this out many years ago.
I believe the Lord's Prayer says it all. I think
Parliment opens with this prayer. Mean it from the heart.
God help Australia Amen

It is a stretch to say her comments support polygamous marriage, I think.
