Does Australia Need a Monarchy? King Charles Commences First Royal Tour

Oct 19, 2024 | King Charles III and Queen Camilla will be in Australia this week — their first visit here since taking the throne. Given the king's ongoing cancer treatment, and recent drastic changes to the British Royal Family, the trip won't be as busy as previous royal tours.

So, this will be a slimmed-down tour - but is Australia's fever for the Monarchy still as passionate? Three experts from The Australian discuss whether King Charles has a bright future - or whether we'll be heading toward another shot at the Republic.

British Republicanism: A Necessary Evil

Sep 20, 2024

My posting of this rather controversial video should in no way be construed as an endorsement of its content. Some parts of it, I agree with; other parts, not.

Rather, I am posting this very interesting video because it shows how much the stability of this once proud and homogenous nation has been rocked by events in the past decades, and especially, in my opinion, by the disaster that was Brexit. The nation has been thrust into a period of navel-gazing.

For what it is worth, as the nation is being impoverished by Brexit and other world events with catastrophic consequences for the UK economy and the fact that we are now governed by a far-left administration, the longevity of our established institutions — and that includes our monarchy — can no longer be taken for granted. The death of Her Majesty the Late Queen Elizabeth II, a source of great stability to the United Kingdom, has had a profound and lasting effect on this once proud, unified and successful nation. Its centre of gravity seems to have tilted. — © Mark Alexander
