Piracy Act 1698 ." any individual who may “.., command, counsel, or advise” persons to commit any act of piracy “shall be deemed and adjudged to be accessory to such piracy”.
Prior to his departure for New South Wales, Phillip received his Instructions (composed by Lord Sydney) from King George III, 'with the advice of his Privy Council'. . An amended Commission, dated 25 April 1787, designated the territory of New South Wales as including 'all the islands adjacent in the Pacific Ocean' and running westward to the 135th meridian, that is, about mid-way through the continent. Regrettably , the UN has now cancelled British title to Australia and Interpol are investigating. British Merchant Shipping and Maritime Security Act 1997 :UN Law of the Sea (1982): Article 101 Definition of piracy Piracy consists of any of the following acts: (a) any illegal acts of violence or detention, or any act of depredation, by the crew of a private ship (ii) against persons or property in a place outside the jurisdiction of any State; Article 103 Definition of a pirate ship A ship is considered a pirate ship if it is for the purpose of committing one of the acts referred to in article 101. Captain Cook gave pirated property to George III but it wasn't James fault, George made him do it and got real mad. Posted by nicknamenick, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 1:36:57 PM

Here is some interesting information for those
monarchists among us: You are all entitled to receive a free portrait of the Queen (and flags, and other stuff) from your federal Member of Parliament. You have to be able to vote, that is - be an Australian Citizen - and all you have to do is contact the office of your federal MP and the material will be sent to you. This comes under the "constituents" request program - and is available to all voters. It is fully funded by the government. It is not a joke. I checked up on it. And it is real. It's not advertised - but apparently it's been in existence for some time. And I believe that Her Majesty's portrait is quite beautiful.

52.4 percent said they want a republic, we live in a democracy, rule by the majority not minorities.
ALTRAV look first at your words before condemning mine. We both may be wrong, but it is my right to hold my opinions. Will stick around for a while, the site is worth it, however yes some with fixed bigoted opinions seem in control not sure it is worth the effort Questioning my return and the seeming inability to hold views other than far right ones NNN not sure if you have a problem please forgive me, but the glimpse of a very bright mind promises much better like very much to see it from you Posted by Belly, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 3:47:14 PM

Here's more on the portrait of the Queen - and to show you that this is not a joke: http://www.facebook.com/SkyNewsAustralia/posts/the-constituents-request-program-allows-australian-citizens-to-receive-nationhoo/10155687324691728/ Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 3:55:46 PM

Belly,
You are being disingenuous, "52.4 percent said they want a republic, we live in a democracy, rule by the majority not minorities". That is but a majority in a sample, we don't know the size of the sample so the figure of 52.4% has no validity whatsoever. Posted by Is Mise, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 4:06:11 PM

I'm not sure what your point is by saying 'she is not the queen of all countries'.
I KNOW THAT.
If you go back and read my comments I said,'she is also the queen of all the other countries 'SHE STILL OWNS''.
Have you got it now?
And BTW, your attitude won't stop King Charles III in any way.
He will be our king and rule over us and ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES HE WILL 'OWN'.
So please get your facts right because all you've said so far are your 'opinions'.
When Australia eventually becomes a republic, and what another sorry day that will be, he won't stop us from becoming a Republic, so don't get your knickers in a knot.
In the meantime, to correct you.
I have gone beyond the general area by telling the actual truth.
You in your left handed, commoner mindset, don't want to acknowledge the truth.
As the, now famous movie lines went, 'you want the truth, you can't handle the truth'.
Belly, a suggestion, before you write anything, just Google it first, you just might be surprised at what you find.
If you don't want to believe me or other commentors maybe you'll believe Google.
Either way, it can't hurt to check.
