1. Thats not the Queensland flag, thats the Queensland Governors flag. 2. Why didnt you put Northern Territory or ACT Up there? Just because it didnt have your little pathetic union jack on it?
@owen82100: I wasn't talking about the Commonwealth Realms. I was referring to the British Overseas Territories. I see where you thought I was coming from though.
@paolocabling Australia is not a colony. In 1901 the colonies making up Australia and Tasmania federated in the Commonwealth of Australia. Independent from 3 Sept 1939 (pedants, please ignore 1942 and 1986).
I don't believe we should have a royal anthem. She's not my queen - she's not an Australian. The day we (finally) got our own national anthem I was as pleased as punch.
@BlossomFlowerGirl can i ask you a question? do you love your country? are you proud to stand up straight when the national anthem is played. then ask your self this, would you be allowed to say your free speech if a dictatorship or comunist nation discovered australia, would australia be wealthy, free and democratic? before ya rip our queen off, remember she is... thru history, what we can have and be lucky our life of freedom speech. and god knows, she has always bin with our commonwealth!
GOD SAVE THE FOSSIL CUNT !!! god really need to save her because if she isn't alive then all british people will die because of hunger because she is breast feeding the britain and she is not using the tax money at all. every day she wakes up and goes early morning to her shop to sell sandwiches and she pays 60% of her earnings for tax to give a good life to british people. she even has built a ship and many aircraft for her majesty from the sandwich shop. Elly! can I have some chips pleeease
@ukyorkie1 Perhaps you need to live here to understand, many Australians would love for out country to become a republic, to be a republic is to be free if you didnt know we started as a colony of convicts so our ancestors were the prisoners, and we have grown feeling that way, im guessing each country in the monarchy has a different perspective.
@ukyorkie1 This happend last time in the past, but we voted against it NO! aussie want's to be a republic. Our bitch of a prime minister just want's to destroy us because i said before, Australia is on a verge of civil war
Woahhh...so even though the world knows the reigning monarch as the king/queen of England, in Australia it's the King/Queen of Australia ... cool! Do other commonwealth nations do that?
@Chavezoid Iunno maybe, but she is on our money, and as soon as her feet hit Australian soil, all her other titles go out the window and she is known as the Queen of Australia, even by her own staffers.
@curt : You're correct of course. Strictly speaking there hasn't been a Queen (or King) "of England" since the union of England with Scotland in 1707. But, like it or not, many people around the world (especially those outside of the Queen's dominions) persist in referring to her as "the Queen of England".
@johstaat I know they do John, and I hate it when they do that. I also hate it when Americans talk about the 'English government'.........there's no such thing as the English government!!! lol!! There hasn't been such a thing as an independent English government, since Henry VIII passed the 'Laws in Wales Acts' of 1535 and 1542, which brought about the annexation of Wales and it's union with England.

@Chavezoid Only the Commonwealth Realms. She is head of state/Queen of 16 independent states, the UK being one of them, the other are Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc
@Chavezoid : Yes they do. The Queen's official title is defined by a separate law in each of her realms.

@PATRICKEIRE The difference between your idea of a monarch and that of England is that England is a constitutional monarchy. The Queen is forever controlled by the people and should the people decide they don't want a queen or king anymore they can simply vote, as you've said.

@PATRICKEIRE don't be silly. you don't vote for your parents do you - maybe in some awful republican nervana you do. do you really think having a president will improve anything?
@pekingduck123456 But again the fact that the so called royals are not elected into office seems to be glossed over,my point is that at least with politicans they can be kicked out at the next election,,these royals are born into a powerfull position to which they have done nothing to earn that position,and also there so called civil list of unelected peers who claim millions,,again all those ideals are belong to a 100 years ago to there so called empire,,and look at the trouble that caused.
I think it is fantastic that the commonwealth countries call the queen 'their sovreign'. Yes she is British but that does not change the fact that she is also the queen of those nations and as such it is Canada's and Australia's right to refer to her as 'their' queen just as much as the British do. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
Wish this was played in the USA like it should be. Elizabeth is our queen also--for those of us that have British roots. My ancestors came to America in the 1830's from Wales.
how can a well educated people have those inbred bigoted raceist people as there head of state??these so called royals are nothing more than backward thinking landgrabbers who seem to think that people were put here to serve them??
They are born into a life of unearned wealth,,and they still are living of the tax payers?
For all the mistakes in a republic at least after 5 years you can vote ur leaders out ,,and look who is next,,PRINCE CHARLES...now that will be funny.
You obviously don't understand the constitutional monarchy system, nor the royal family. Well, yes, historically there was a degree of inbreeding, but only slightly more so than was common among the general population (people didn't move very often, and populations were small). They are neither racist nor bigotted, and the whole idea of the Coronation oath, is that the monarch swears to serve the people, so no, we are not here to serve her, she is here to serve us.
@Falwren my point is that they are unelected and leech of the tax payers,,and yes they are bigots,,are they allowed to marry anyone who isnt a prodestant?NO,,and u really cannot tell me that they are not racist,,,i mean how many gaffs from charles and edward and co do u need before u cop onto that fact,,look these people offer nothing other than they expect a life of privilage that they dont earn or deserve,,the millions they and the civil list waste could be put to better use,,
Well, the only marrying a protestant part isn't entirely fair in today's world yes, but it was established to prevent another King James II in the 17th century, and the monarch currently is defender of the Anglican faith. I know it isn't exactly perfect, but how about Spain? It's the exact opposite, since the monarch there is essentially required to be Catholic.
I've personally met Edward, and he was extremely respectful and tolerant of everyone, so that's complete crap.
In terms of this so called civil waste, it only amounts to about $1.63 per capita per year (or 1 pound in sterling) for each country, and they bring in millions in tourism, most of which is used towards important charities. So in fact, they make more money than they require. It's wrong to say they don't earn or deserve, since at least Her Majesty has dedicated her life to service through charities, diplomacy, and promoting human rights and democracy.
I don't know about the last year, but I do know that in the decade that has just gone, over 75% of immigration in the United Kingdom has been from non-White, nations. We are slowly taking over, especially since white british couples have just 4 kids on average. lol. are your women baron or something?
Things will get even more advantegous for us if liberal get in. immigration will rise even more. this is payback time for the rich whites who enslaved us.
The Crown has given us in the Commonwealth so much stability a first class system of governance and of Justice. To degrade the Throne is just not the Aussie way to our best interests nor the certainty for the childrens future quality of life. Long may our Queen reign over my native homeland of Australia.
the day we lose our Monarchy is the day we lose our freedom, the monarch reassures his people that a functional government carries on and protect its people for the personal greed of politician, the monarchy is the check and balance of the state, the monarch can and will remove a PM that is a self-serving politician or incompetent
@jwpampi but who removes the unelected corrupt monarch?politcians are elected and can be removed,,the so called royals do what they like and know they can get away with it.
Ever heard of Charles I? He was corrupt, and tyrannical, and so he was decapitated in 1649. Ever since the glorious revolution with King William III, no monarch is allowed to do what they want and get away with it.
@PATRICKEIRE thats why we a constitutional monarchy, a limited power monarch, politician can be remove, but who will remove them? the supreme court? the court is filled with judges that is appointed by the politician, and look at all the republics in poor countries the only way to remove the corrupt president is by blood of its people... in here its just a signiture from the monarch... and all people are corrupt given its nature...you just have to limit it
@jwpampi The only problem with a Monarchy is what if you have a ruler who is corrupt and tyrannical. It makes much more sense to have a republic, and elected officials. And as in America The President, may only serve 8 years then they move on to the next one, sure there are many horrible leaders along the way, but America has held the same type of government for over 200 years. And Britain has really given full power to Parliament, the queen has no real power, she is a symbol and that is all.
@jwpampi Look not every Country is like the Untied States if Australia was to become a Republic we would still function the same way. Now days Monarchy is a title it serves no function the royals have no control all becoming a republic would do is remove all the fancy shmancy Ceremonies, Australia, New Zealand And Canada can function as a republic.
"Republic means the highest level of freedom?" Boy that is a laugh. People that really understand how a constitutional monarchy functions will understand that it is MUCH more of a "democracy" than lets say like the USA? You think Americans have more "freedoms" than Britons, Canadians or Australians? Nope. Have you not heard about the right wing agenda in Texas forcing the schools to take the word "democracy" out of the description for the USA? Hmmmmm.
I am an American by birth; but Canadian French & Scottish by blood. I have 12 more years to suffer American ignorance before I can uproot & move to Canada. Then, with my money in hand, I will vote with my feet. I would rather pay higher taxes in Canada; than be a part of a farce called the United States. Let their bloated, rotund children crawl for more McDonalds fries; I have better things to do than witness their suicides. Canada is a great country, with a great Queen...I am ok with that.
The best bit of Australia being a Monarchy is the total political independence of the head of state, and that another country pays for them! Who could ask for a better system? Australia is indeed the lucky country, and its thanks to the British Monarchy that you ended up that way. You just can't buy History!
It would cost them too much to do that and who would want to get rid of one of the most historical and best form of government in exchange for something that rarely works well
@Tennessee44444 - USSR stood for Union of Socialist Soviet Republics,North Korea is a Republic, Vietnam is a Republic, Cuba is a Republic. China is the People's Republic of China...
@Tennessee44444 Yeah like the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, Peoples Republic of China, Islamic Republic of Iran.....
Even the United States hasn't perfected the concept. Freedom to not have choice or access to a decent healthcare system and the Patriot Act.
Australia is a Constitutional Monarchy. We have our own Constitution protecting our own rights and full independence. We happen to just be a member of the Commonwealth - of which the Queen is the head of state.
@gnarkillkicksass You know your PM wants to ditch the monarchy and become a republic, right?
She makes me ashamed to be Welsh.
I think a referendum of the monarchy in Oz happened in the 80s, and failed. I don't think people are as patriotic in that regard these days, perhaps Oz will ditch its monarchy this time.
@DavieS993 The referendum was in 2000 I think and it was knocked back pretty heavily. Here the Labor party will probably get voted out on Saturdays election (fingers crossed)! They are trying to impose republic when the polls show very clearly Australia does not want one. Nothing wrong with being Welsh mate, just a shame about that bitch - you know she was previously the head of the Australian Socialist Forum?
@gnarkillkicksass That's cool. To be honest I am quite suprised the Aussies and other British commonwealth countries still kept their British roots, I mean jeez we were pretty evil back then.
Good thing Oz dosen't want a Republic, it worked so well for the peoples Republic of China Islamic Republic etc etc.
Arrgh. You weren't all that evil back then actually, as many of us Commonwealth countries agree. I see however that you have been subscribing to the ever prominent American view of history though, eh?
@Tennessee44444 actually if you check the democracy index, parliamentarianism covers 14 out of the top 16 countries, Australia and Canada fight for 3rd and 4th place every year. America is ranked 19th (so much for leading the "free world" eh?)
The national party still have God save the Queen at party meetings, and it's still the royal anthen of Oz when the Queen comes out, and I think when the G-G is at formal gatherings
People like you want "independence" but you want to be part of an open-border world union.
Going by your screen name, you probably can't wait for the Asia-Pacific Union, open borders & more slope heads making us a province of China.... So, when you leave home, you will never speak to your parents again, or have them come around to babysit their grandchildren, after all, you want independence..... right?
haha...for all you people who think that the queen of australia and the queen of england are 2 different people let me lay this upon you...haven't you ever noticed she has a british accent????
Cockney is from (East) London. London IS in Southern England, you nob. But besides that, why would we want Australia to be independent anyway? Long live the commonwealth!
...And if we go back far enough, ALL accents of the English language (well, all 'national/regional accents' anyway, not immigrants' accents) are, in essence, regional British accents anyway...
HAHAHAHAHA! thats a joke right? my bloody ruddy bog is more posh than yeh bloody ruddy aussie bastards! let me guess, those linguists were either: canadian, septics, froggys, aussies or a bunch of bloody fucking daft cunts! LOL hahaha that made my day! aussies sounding like that of a southern britton! LOL
so says an american... right.. you do real know where BRITAIN is? not "britton"? and secondly do you know where canada is? just wondering? Because it doesn't take a linguist to realise where the australian accent comes from... who the hell colonised australia? where are the ports that led to australia from the UK? Where's Portsmouth? London? they are all in SOUTHERN BRITAIN!
hahaha you think im a bloody septic!!! your full of jokes aren't yeh? Yeh fucking gormless, daft, idiotic, arrogant, ignorant, bloody fucking CUNT!! I know where bloody fucking portsmouth and london are yeh bloody fucking divvy cunt! so maybe next time you should not resort to using bloody fucking false accusations!
well you don't seem to know about the world. Do you actually think i am personally offended by you calling me 'yeh fucking gormless, daft, idiotic, arrogant etc.', considering you don't even know half of what you talk about, nor spell most of it, and you can't even spell Britain! you're just a loser looking for attention
clearly you can't read i even wrote them before..., 'yeh' is not a word, so that's one, also you said "britton" a few days ago.. i don't know any place called that... that's two... and the hell is a 'gorm'?
i do know that, how ever you spelt it with a double 't', hence it's incorrect. Also it's 'you're', not 'your' a British citizen. and Plus.. i am a British citizen as well as an Australian citizen :)
im afraid not...the aussie's sound like a bunch of daft wankers with a dildo stuck up their arse when they speak...it's truly embarrassing and insulting for you to even to link our 2 accents together nowadays.......maybe 100 years ago it would be understandable but now days it's just insulting!
@youvegotmoobs: This is not the *national* anthem of Australia. It is the *royal* anthem of Australia. There's a difference. The national anthem is Advance Australia Fair. The royal anthem is God Save the Queen.
@youvegotmoobs: This is not the *national* anthem of Australia. It is the *royal* anthem of Australia. There's a difference. The national anthem is Advance Australia Fair. The royal anthem is God Save the Queen.
@youvegotmoobs this is not our national anthem.....ours is "ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR"
we haven't sung "god save the queen" for nearly 40 years.... we grew up a little.
there is nothing cool about having your national anthem as ours, it sucked for us.... she's your queen...not ours... nobody here (except ver, very, very conservative ppl over the age of 65) claims the queen as theirs...
we can't wait until we remove your flag off ours either.
@shanodude God save the queen isnt just a british national anthem, it's also the anthem of the commonwealth realms which australia is a part of. And the union jack on the aussie flag just represents australia's heritage seeing that australia was a former british colony.
I am an Australian, im 19 and i claim the Queen as my own, 'God Save The Queen' is the official ROYAL ANTHEM in Australia. The Queen is the Commander In Chief of the Defence Force and Captain General of the Royal Australian Artillery. There are more Monarchists in Australia then there are Republicans - and 'God Save the Queen' is still sung at the start of Australian Military Mess Dinners (Regimental Dinners).
@shanodude Your speaking for yourself not the whole of Australia. Im 18 and and i claim the Queen of Australia as our Queen because she is, until more nitwits come along and ruin a good thing.
@shanodude tbh mate iv grown up a bit since my last comment was made and after serving in the armed forces the queen can go fuck herself in the nicest possible way and i no longer give a fuck what yours mine or anybody else's national anthem is
@RoyalistUK I WANT: YOU BE PREPARED to BENEDICT XVI's VISIT to UK. So PLEASE READ "MY STRANGE COMMENT" HERE & under FILMS: "Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco" by "tirjibic" & "Romy hommage" by "1982Romy" & "Princesse Stephanie / Princesse Grace 2008" by "Lilly071012" and "prince amadeo of belgium" & "Prince Amadeo of Belgium" & "princess mathilde and prince philippe of belgium" by "princessgaud17" and "Stephanie de Monaco - I'm Waiting For You" & "Stephanie de Monaco - Dance With Me" by "crabwalk".
actually shes the queen of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Common Wealth Realms and Australia is a common wealth realm...so no technically shes is not your queen but i guess we can share lol

how can a well educated people have those inbred bigoted raceist people as there head of state??these so called royals are nothing more than backward thinking landgrabbers who seem to think that people were put here to serve them??
They are born into a life of unearned wealth,,and they still are living of the tax payers?
For all the mistakes in a republic at least after 5 years you can vote ur leaders out ,,and look who is next,,PRINCE CHARLES...now that will be funny.

You obviously don't understand the constitutional monarchy system, nor the royal family. Well, yes, historically there was a degree of inbreeding, but only slightly more so than was common among the general population (people didn't move very often, and populations were small). They are neither racist nor bigotted, and the whole idea of the Coronation oath, is that the monarch swears to serve the people, so no, we are not here to serve her, she is here to serve us.

@Falwren my point is that they are unelected and leech of the tax payers,,and yes they are bigots,,are they allowed to marry anyone who isnt a prodestant?NO,,and u really cannot tell me that they are not racist,,,i mean how many gaffs from charles and edward and co do u need before u cop onto that fact,,look these people offer nothing other than they expect a life of privilage that they dont earn or deserve,,the millions they and the civil list waste could be put to better use,,

@PATRICKEIRE
Well, the only marrying a protestant part isn't entirely fair in today's world yes, but it was established to prevent another King James II in the 17th century, and the monarch currently is defender of the Anglican faith. I know it isn't exactly perfect, but how about Spain? It's the exact opposite, since the monarch there is essentially required to be Catholic.
I've personally met Edward, and he was extremely respectful and tolerant of everyone, so that's complete crap.

@PATRICKEIRE
In terms of this so called civil waste, it only amounts to about $1.63 per capita per year (or 1 pound in sterling) for each country, and they bring in millions in tourism, most of which is used towards important charities. So in fact, they make more money than they require. It's wrong to say they don't earn or deserve, since at least Her Majesty has dedicated her life to service through charities, diplomacy, and promoting human rights and democracy.

@jwpampi The only problem with a Monarchy is what if you have a ruler who is corrupt and tyrannical. It makes much more sense to have a republic, and elected officials. And as in America The President, may only serve 8 years then they move on to the next one, sure there are many horrible leaders along the way, but America has held the same type of government for over 200 years. And Britain has really given full power to Parliament, the queen has no real power, she is a symbol and that is all.

The best bit of Australia being a Monarchy is the total political independence of the head of state, and that another country pays for them! Who could ask for a better system?
