Steele,

The issue is that certain members of Parliament lied, under oath, that they give allegiance to the Queen, simple as that.

"The only way the constitution can be changed is by referendum."

Not quite. The federal government has unconstitutionally hijacked many functions from state governments. The actual Constitution doesn't change, but unelected, undemocratic judges 'find' meanings in the document that were not apparent at the time of writing or before the federal government wanted to go rogue.

Me thinks Issy wants to stack the parliament with like minded monarchists. Crusty old white male christian conservatives calling all the shots. Vote for the Rev Fred Nile, he fits the bill.

"No person should be in Parliament unless they have fully understood our constitution" Now, that would be limited to no one as I don't believe there is even a single person who fully understands our constitution, including those who wrote it, and they are all dead anyway. What a ridiculous statement.

The forums all unknowing Islamic theologian Bazz, chimes in with one of his usual anti Muslim smears.

I like the reference to "the authorised version of the Bible,". What's in the unauthorised version. Killing and hatred, sorry that's in the authorised version.

Ephesians 4:31; Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. There goes question time.

Paul,I

I only want people of honesty in Parliament and as all the Greens MsP favour a Republic, as a prelude to dictatorship, then they have sworn false oaths and are thus perjurers.
Not surprising.

It's the "honourable" that gets to me. In some cases 'honable' would be more apt.

The only oath ought to be, to truly represent, as best they can, the people of their electorate.

How can one truly represent their electorate if most of them do not like the constitution and/or the Queen while they are sworn to defy them? Alternately, if most people of the electorate do approve the constitution and the Queen, then the oath to represent them already includes all that and nothing else is necessary!
