Or the axe.

There's been a precedent for that in Old Blighty. Wearer of the same name, too.

Peasant Woman: "Order", eh? Who does he think he is?

King Arthur: I am your king.

Peasant Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.

King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.

Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then?.....

Remember kids "Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony".

"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government"

I work for the Stralian government in a government warehouse in a nondescript suburb in the ACT. A few months ago our organisations property people came out and put up a portrait of King Charles the Turd as I call him in our reception area.

We didn't have a portrait of the Queen when she was alive so why do we have a portrait of King Charles the Turd? What is the point of having him on the wall? I suggested we move it to one of the toilet cubicles so he could be there with the other turds.

I am hoping that the shit show that was the referendum on the indigenous voice to parliament won't spook Albo too much and if he does win the next election we do get a yes/no referendum on becoming a republic. Hopefully if the ALP gets it's shit together and passes the laws against misinformation we might just have a proper debate and hopefully we can flush the turd away.

Albo isn't the one to be running any agenda. He's ok but he's never going to be a successful reformer after the last cluster fuck

Albo and the hairless horror have joined forces to legislate the Teals out of existence, and made campaign finance almost impossible to obtain for a any independants. If that happens it's going to be that old saying, meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

And don't forget his Highness, the unelected, Governor General who can depose any bastard he likes, he has a precedent from the days of yore.

Why don't you put a picture of the Liar from the Shire, aka the Crook from Cook in the dunny, that will give anybody the shits, and a deep fake picture of the GG giving RoboCop a good old sock sucking, If you know what I mean.

Yep - The King upon the hill who we peasants fawn and offer allegiance towards. Equally is the bowing to billionaires such as Gina who have a large body... of estate wealth

Forsooth! Did not the King (or his lickspittles, in his name) steal a whole fucking continent under the questionable premise of “Terra nullius” from a living population (not even a bit sick until the colonists imported a raft of diseases)?

The practice of “Bona vacantia”, while several centuries older, doesn’t hold a candle to this shitfuckery!

Long live the King!

Elvis is dead or alive just like Schrodinger's Cat. Both of them are almost certainly in a box.

Thank you, Your Majesty, for methodically explaining the importance and necessity of this historical curio. It is comforting to know I can rely on Our Gracious King to Parse the Duchy when needed.

I see what you did there. And I approve

As an American, we settled this in 1776, and again in 1814. So, piss off.

You'll have a new royal family soon enough, mate, when King Donald sits the throne.

And you'll know for sure when he abdicates in favour of Ivanka after his third term.

Oh, but perhaps we yearn for the return of the Great Orange One. ;-)

That's the most sickening thing you've ever written in a pretty crowded field

The Noir Arachnid has attained the pinnacle of head of the Maison Windsor, at last, and like all nabobs to much money is never enough. As luck would have it, an arcane edit decrees that all Last Will and Testaments of the deceased within his realm are in the public domain, except the royal family and their immediate rellies. By virtue of this quirk of history the wealth of the noble deceased can be passed around amongst themselves, it's a jolly good wheeze for Lord and Lady Snooty and there chums, and the money changers at Coutts Bank.

I'm saddened by the passing of his dear mum, for I shall no long hear her as she speaks those hilarious lines, " it gives my husband and I great pleasure, as I'm sure it does you" as she cuts the ribbon on some concrete edifice, or smashes the bottle of bubbly on the bow of some maritime leviathan.

As Henry II said, "who will rid me of this insatiate head of the Church of England." Well he might have said that, or he might not.
