God save the Queen.

Australia is a monarchy and will always stay that way. I don't think people there should really have the right to complain about this, but if you must, please leave your comments below and her queenship will probably read them if she can be bothered.

Hi Blissed - what prompted that thread hun? in modern life the queen holds no real governmental powers here in the UK so i doubt has too much of an impact in Australia - its just a historical thing so im not sure why anyone would complain - or am i missing something?

Re: God save the Queen.

I'm just messing about I put this post in another forum so I thought I'd stick it in here to see what happened It has been pointed out to me that if Australia got rid of the queen, it couldn't be in the commonwealth games, which would probably cheer up a lot of people cuz they might get a chance to win something I'd like to see the post stay exactly as it is but elected. Then everyone would get the chance to be queen and at the coronation I think we should  make everyone in Westminster abbey sing  Bohemian rapsody...........twice

No such luck, Blissed.  They could ditch the Queen, but still stay a member of the Commonwealth, if that's what they want.  And I can't see the Aussies giving up any chance of Pom-bashing.

Here I fantasized the ice cream smeared all over you on a hot Chicago day.  We could decide about the banana and the split later......

You've got a fair amount of fodder for Aussie-bashing, should you ever feel the need.

How difficult is it for an American to move to Australia?  Or Holland for that matter.  Anyone??

Apparently it's a bit easier now...seeing as how our Australian Prime Minister is firmly lodged up the butt of your American President, that is.

As an Australian (hopefully) moving to the States in the next few months, I can say it's not so much 'difficult' as frustrating, time consuming, filled with red tape, and bloody ridiculous.  It helps that I'm marrying a Yank, though.

And that the presidential term is restricted to two terms in office...
No such luck over here.  I still want to know who voted for him, all the closet liberals please show yourself!

Re: God save the Queen.

I personally never understood why we had to sing the song and why she was any more deserving of god's help.  As a girl I remember thinking she was pretty, but it made as much sense to me singing about her as saluting the flag in the states when we lived there.  Just more pompous crap that was all about attaching someone's ego to a statehood, and I had much more fun singing Yellow Submarine.  It definitely should not be inflicted on small children... But you know for some strange reason I voted no for a republic. Which leads me to think that maybe people just don't like change?  Or if they don't understand the issue, they'd rather not change it, which is what I thought at the time...  Or else just not trusting who we vote in as politicians...

Re: God save the Queen.

The Australian prime minister seems to be so miserable all the time. It makes me wonder when someone like that say's their quitting politics to spend more time with their family, whether their family is really all that pleased about that

You think?  I get that he looks smug, all the time.  But I must admit I haven't been watching the news that much lately.  It makes me all kinds of cross.
