The Kings beseech.

The article in "The Saturday Paper" w/ended Nov 1/2024 titled "The Kings beseech" by Paul Bongiorno highlights the bravery of Senator Lidia Thorpe, when she confronted the current King and his current wife in the halls of parliament. Proclaiming "you are not my King" and "give us a treaty" brings home the fact that we Australians still need to come to terms with the legacy of our history. We are one of the last commonwealth countries without a treaty.

She was well aware that her action was certainly going to bring opprobrium on her head, mostly from those white Australians who are racist bigots. Unfortunately, some of her First Nations cohort who are afraid to speak out, were also apparently critical of her stance. Many of us who are unapologetically Republican., know that this is an issue that will need to be faced in the not- so- distant future. The fact is that we the people of Australia, whether or not we become a republic, need to ignore our political parties, who refuse to address this stain on our conscience. We deserve the dishonor of being criticised by the United Nations as a body, for our recalcitrance in this matter of humanity. Hopefully,if we achieve the aims of the movement for better government, a house of parliament populated by independent members selected by their individual electorates and sworn to act at all times,in the interest of their electorates and the nation, we may well become a better nation and a True Democracy.
