Foxy,

"Of course. However not everyone sees things from
that perspective and as we were discussing the
monarch's role in regards to Australia - ..."

However, Belly, chose to denigrate Prince Charles in this thread, so as he brought up the subject and as he started the thread, then he ought to back up his statements, or, at the least, give a reference.

As the assertion implied incompetence, then Charles' competence in other matters may have some bearing.

ALTRAV
Charles-in-Council means him with the advice and consent of the privy council 5 Judges usually giving legal effect to cabinet decisions which today is the Pom PM and 21 cabinet ministers or king of 2 cricket teams.

The Governor-General of Papua New Guinea is the representative of Queen Elizabeth II, known in Tok Pisin as 'Missis Kwin'. Charles gets 'Masta King' and must follow PNG decisions. In some extreme case, a citizen could claim that some-one freed from Manus island and entering north Qld had a certain legal problem with Qld : Fed law.
If the buck were passed to Charles he would have his own little British empire for a day.

Ise Mise at first, in long gone threads, I thought you must be a bright young needling person.
Got that wrong.
You keep demanding answers to question that do not deserve one.
Charlie, the Timber Top barron of my youth, what can I say?
Poor beggar must have poor eyessight, picked Camilla Parker whatever over Lady Diana!
You know on a trip to WA he won a piddling competition? seems the rule calls for standing back and seeing who can pee higher up the tree.
YES YES AND YES!I used a well used derogatory term,chinless wounder!
You in your constant following me around verbally tugging my trouser leg,seem to want to point out he has in fact got a chin!
yes! know that!bit of a worm however,please,I know he has legs!

Belly,

I see it now, you feel a bit unworthy as you could never emulate Prince Charles, so you denigrate him, typical republican Labor position, no way to win an argument about him so you invent scurrilous insults.

He's been an Air Force pilot, Navigator, Ship's Captain (RN), good wing shot, pretty good with the rifle, plays a good game of polo and is a very competent horseman as well as a successful farmer.

Over to you.

The question was raised by Belly and free opinions generally said "no".This was the wrong answer and Belly took it as preventing him talking . He's had many requests to put his case which is "be aussie" with insults to any who disobey the order. Probably Belly says "no" to republic , "yes" to one-man rule.

//He's been an Air Force pilot, Navigator, Ship's Captain (RN), good wing shot, pretty good with the rifle, plays a good game of polo and is a very competent horseman as well as a successful farmer.//

He can also open a can of sardines with his teeth, rope steers, toss a caber dead straight, drive a steam locomotive, sing the complete works of Gilbert & Sullivan without becoming confused or breaking down in tears, was taught how to stop his heart by the Dalai Lama (in exchange for teaching him how to play darts properly), is an expert swordsman, brilliant painter, gourmet cook, and by all accounts possibly the finest lover the world has ever known.

Nevertheless, his sole qualification for the position of Prince of Wales is the fact that he's the firstborn son of HRH Elizabeth II. An accident of birth, really, although a fortuitous one that such an Übermensch (well, I say 'Übermensch'... obviously he's part Reptilian like his mother, but I don't know the Deutsch for super Reptilian-human hybrid) should be born into his position.

I think that's what Belly is objecting to... the fact that it's the great genetic lottery of life that grants him his princehood. Imagine if instead of the Most Amazing Man Who Ever Lived having being born into that position, we'd ended up with a Joffrey Baratheon or Charles II of Spain. I mean, you can kind of see the bloke's point.

But only if you pretend, like ALTRAV, that the reigning monarch of the UK has an active hand in the functioning of Australian government, any further than the general scheming of the Reptilians.
