@@petersimpson10 Who says Australia makes a constitutional change to mirror the US. We're a successful, smart, young, diverse country and culture. The US isn't everything. We're one of the few countries in the world where voting is compulsory, the only other notable one is Brazil, however, we will always have 2 leaders. Maybe we replace the govenor general with a council of elected state leaders that share power as a group of 6. Have a president replace the govenor general that can be removed from power if either 2/3 of the legislative assembly request and/or the majority of states request. Our lands and our country is our oyster.
Why as a strong country, with our own shared culture, accent, views, climate, etc. Should we allow someone who doesn't speak like us, does know what it feels like to be Australian, has spent less time in Australia than someone on a student visa have powers in our constitution. can't tell the difference of responsibilities between Canada's Quebec and Australia's Queensland. It goes against our key philosophy of being the lucky country. If any Australian doesn't have the chance to take and compete for the top job.
When Australia is no longer an effective monarchy, only an affective appearance of respect for our "betters", it will look exactly the same in operation as the world wide oligarchy does now(?).
I respect your freedom of belief, but you don't support it with lawful constitutional law, do you even know the constitutional oath and who was the last one to take this oath?
Oath I, A.B., do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Her heirs and successors according to law. SO HELP ME GOD! Affirmation I, A.B., do solemnly and sincerely affirm and declare that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Her heirs and successors according to law. (NOTE - The name of the King or Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the time being is to be substituted from time to time.)
Haha the irony of speaking of the curls and the red goes unnoticed. Now this is swarv.. great work on your channel lad.
Thanks for that, learnt a few things and got a few giggles out of it 😂
And in both those dismissals the Queens rep was acting in the interests of foreign powers, not in the interests of Australia.
Thanks, got the exact information I was finding from past 2 hours.
The humour in this one was spot on! still early in the vid but it's wonderfully informative, as always 🌸
Thanks a lot. Your videos are very illuminating and you have improved as a presenter! Keep it up!
Would be interesting to hear more about the 1975 Dismissal of Whitlam.
There's a great podcast about it. Called "The 11th' I think?
Let ME introduce you to a C word. COOL. As in, cool video!
No republic!!! Keep the monarchy!! Australia needs the monarchy God Save The King of Australia! 👑 🇦🇺
Why would you want a Brit as your Head of State as opposed to a democratically elected AUSTRALIAN?
Australia will and shall always remain British god save the 👑 🇦🇺🇬🇧
@govand7 Not risking Australia turning into a copy of American government. 🫤

@@AuspolExplained who was the last one to take this oath?
@@shellyaus Mary Doyle most recently was elected in a by-election to the federal parliament so is the most recent MP to give an oath/affirmation.
@@AuspolExplained no, the oath as per our constitution, Albo wasn't even close
