Oh, poor old Stan!

I nearly didn't get to see the "Princess Royal" at the Redcliffe showgrounds (late 50s/early 60s ??) because I didn't have any shoes, let alone socks! Not many of the local, family kids did and we were all poor as. We thought nothing of it, but I remember being happy.

Imagine someone who is an ABC employee, successful journo and into "Body Tinting", stating that he wants to know what it's like to be a whitey!

I certainly didn't mind the bloke, pre-bandwagon.

Foil hat on? Nah, I'm not easily offended.

We would save the salaries of 75 people plus many other expenses.
Laws could be passed to spell out in greater detail that if the politicians mess up elections are called.
Interesting argument.

Why do we need a head of state? Because:

• all countries have a formal head of state - and that really shouldn't be the head of the executive, because it concentrates too much power in one person's hands - as the USA is discovering;

• the head of the executive should have broad, closely defined but ultimately limited powers and the head of state should have little day to day power but the power to appoint and remove the executive when required.

Now the Queen has passed the republican debate will undoubtedly resurface.

Not sure what model would be put up.

Communism does not work just look at the dictators in Russia & China

America's system is broken just look at how they elect the president & how the supreme court took away women's rights .

Certainly don't want politicians telling us who our president or monarch would be.

The most stable countries in the world seem to have a system like ours - lol.

Yet just another political activist using the Queens death as a soap pbox, Shame on Stan.

May I suggest that

Neither of those countries are communist, Russia doesn't even claim to be.
