Is Mise,

Australia is a federation of states which each have
their own constitution, government and laws. Australia's
system of government is a parliamentary democracy. Our
laws are determined by parliaments elected by the
people. This means that Australian citizens are involved
in how the country is governed because Australian citizens
vote for people to represent them in parliament.

Australian citizens are not swearing allegiance to politicians - parliamentarians - they are swearing allegiance to principles higher than politics. They are swearing allegiance to the rules that govern politicts and Parliamentarians. To have a President elected by the people means the highest power is political and only serves those that support the views of the Politician. Just like Foxy aligns herself with Biden and the Democrats.

Foxy,
I didn’t realize that new Citizens swore/affirmed loyalty to the various States; are they only obligated to the State where the swearing in takes place?
I thought that you had been saying that they swore loyalty to Australia, care to tell us what you understand by the term “Australia”, is it the universally recognised national identify or the geographical land masses?

Australian of the year must be someone who best represented Australia in 2021 on the international sphere and not someone with a political campaign, persons with the calibre of Dylan Martin Alcott or Ash Barty. Great Australians who enjoy their life and inspire others.
