Thank You. I thought that on this forum my position was
quite clear. That people on this forum were entitled to
their religious beliefs and that others were entitled to
criticize those beliefs with the provisions that they
didn't break our laws or harm anybody. There are laws
concerning libel, and hatred and so on.
I stand by my posting record - which I had assumed was quite
obvious. Again Thank You - for explaining it better than I
did.
Hi Cumberland,
The Queen made it quite clear many times that she felt it
was up to the Australian people to decide whether they wanted
to be a republic or not. She did not object to it. I assume
that King Charles would follow in his mother's footsteps in
this regard. Therefore as I stated earlier if Australia became
a republic it would remove the King's power and dissolve the
office of Governor General. The nation would then be led by an
elected representative and this person would hold Australia's
executive authority.
If Australia became a republic it would have to choose a system of
government that allowed for the exercise of authority to be
on Australian soil, instead of the power being wielded by the
British monarch. We do have the option to retain the Westminster
System of Parliament with a PM elected by a public majority.
When the time comes for Australians to make that decision I
am sure that things will be explained to everyone (including
you and me) so we can understand and make a well-informed
decision on the matter. So don't worry about my so called
"lack of understanding." Things will work out eventually - I'm sure.
