I rest my case.

You can tell when she's gone off her reserpine.

I'm sure this footage made it onto the international stage somewhere. And we laugh at Sleepy Joe and Kamala Harris....

Bird of the Year was recently awarded.
My favorate, again was little supported, alas...
It's a common sighting here in the GC threads and gives me great enjoyment on its every appearance; 'The Ka-poof-al' or Oozlum, to use the correct taxonomy, bird .
(see the above few postings)

And great thanks to David Rowe for 'nailing it.... '

Today was a new low for our wonderfully enlightened Lidia.

There must be a way to censure her in the chamber and lock her out of parliament.

I saw LT's performance today on ABC Justin. I was initially quite annoyed. Then I tried to see it from her side. Whether she is a genuine fighter for her race, a gold digger or just plain barking mad, King Charles is paid very well to put up with this sh*t.

I'm against a Republic atm. because I don't want to replace a mob of half wits and sex pests with a similar mob from ALP or Liberal aristocracy. I'm a great believer in the power of genes and at least we know with the Royals what we are getting, thick and pedestrian. A President unelected by me alone would be dangerous. I don't trust the Australian public neither.

So my darl, Lidia, just keep on carrying on.

Most indecorous for a member of parliament, especially in the chamber, and especially as her ethnic genetics are predominantly shared with this King.

Narcissisticly performative with no agenda other than self-aggrandizement among a small group of petty and deluded activists, and most likely evidence of some psychopathology.

I think medication is more apt, perhaps megadoses of reserpine or benzos, perhaps both.

Clementine Ford is worse.

It was embarrassing.... watching all and sundry grovel before a big eared twit who is our unelected head of state.

Well, matey, he is our elected Head of State, there was a referendum and he (or his mum) won.

I think he is a decent person, and people shouldn't be rude to decent people. The monarchy as an institution is another subject, but it doesn't preclude being civil.

Shhhh he can hear you.

While Lidia shouted out 'show me the money'.

I guess embarrassing works both ways.

I did say early in the voice thread, just sit down and sort out a payment.
The longer they leave it the more it will cost, that is unless there is a war, then Lidia will probably be shouting at Xi in parliament, for having it stolen again. Lol

'We've put down our spears, we’re using our voice': Mob react to Lidia Thorpe

The fallout from Lidia Thorpe’s message to the king has made global headlines. But what do Indigenous Australians make of the interaction? From 'Not really accurate' to 'very ballsy' First Nations people weight in.

With regard getting rid of a head of state with a token power and replacing it with a head of state like the U.S, well give me our style of Government any day.
It found its roots in the Magna Carta when King John and the Royals were overthrown by the commoners and the people took control.
The people decide who rules and the prime minister can be chucked out, unlike el Presidente's. Lol
Like in the U.S, where they have to beg him to stand down. FFS

Well, that's really the issue imo.

King John was an a$$hole so the barons cut him down to size, the current royals are civilised and well behaved and people respect them for that. They behave a lot better than politicians which is why they are popular.

As long as the Royals take an interest in the people, the people will respond.

The people also voted on representatives and the Royals had no power other than ceremonial, it has been fine honed since about 1200 AD and now we have a situation, where in Australia the people vote in who they want and the only real impact that Royalty has is, if there is an impasse in parliament the parliament can be dissolved and sent back to the people for a vote, it doesn't get better than that.

Every year in the U.S there is hand wringing,"will the financial bill be passed, will we be able top pay the troops, will the country have to declare bankruptcy"? FFS.

In Australia, if there is block to supply the Governor General can dissolve parliament and call an election, too simple.
This joint is full of fckn bedwetters, who are always trying to find a way of growing a pair, yes lets go like the U.S that will make us tough.

'Cept the Magna Carta has become more of a "suggestion" these days, to be ignored when convenient for the g'mint.

We have an unelected King who undertakes an in practice figurehead role and that's it.

Meanwhile we have unelected activists on a range of issues who seek not to change the opinion of others and government by rational debate but instead to simply force their wishes on society by threats, intimidation and disruption.

Of those two, well Charles isn't the one giving the middle finger to ordinary citizens and trampling over democracy. I'm not a particular fan of him, I liked the Queen better, but as problems go he seems a long way down the list in my view.

 

[IFocus]

No one here voted for the big eared adulterous twit, We do not live in a democracy as long as the groverling bedwetting conservatives along with anyone else who opposes electing those that govern us and so that if we don't like them then we puck them off.

With the big eared adulterous twit that's not possible and remains our head of state regardless.

One thing about Lidia Thorpe (who is not really my cup of tea but good on her) is that it's great to see the authentic Australian value on display that built our nation, that's the same value Australian diggers had while dying in the trenches.

Larrikinism a beautiful thing but sadly lacking in this thread.

Grovel on everybody.

There are lots of things we don't vote for but have to live with is the point.

Either because we don't vote for them as such, or because every candidate and political party just happens to have the exact same policies.

If we take the present world order as it applies in Australia then what opportunity did anyone really have to vote against it? What option did they have to reject, for examples:

Globalisation, the loss of Australian industry and the rise of the debt fuelled service economy.

Urban consolidation, mass immigration and the housing crisis.

The educational arms race and the paradoxical loss of technical competence.

Privatisation of government assets and the outsourcing or abandonment of government functions.

Etc.

All seriously big ticket things that have had profound impacts on society that in practice nobody was given any real say over. Didn't matter who you voted for, they were all pushing the same agenda so any notion of democracy is a technicality at most.

I don't deny that we didn't vote for King Charles either. But if we did vote for the head of state, what would it do to fix any of those issues or others?

Absolutely spot on.

It's been neglect by the politicians we did elect that are responsible for our problems, not the monarchy of a far off land.

Blame where it's due.
