King Charles III smiles during his visit to the Forsinard Flows Visitor Centre in Forsinard, Highland, Scotland, July 31, 2024. King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived in Sydney on Friday for the first Australian visit by a reigning monarch in more than a decade, a trip that has rekindled debate about the nation's constitutional links to Britain.
Monarchists expect the visit will strengthen Australians' connection to their sovereign. Opponents hope for a rejection of the concept that someone from the other side of the world is Australia's head of state. "Unfortunately, it is a reminder that Australia's head of state isn't full-time, isn't Australian. It's a part-time person based overseas who's the head of state of numerous places," Anatolitis told the AP.
"The visit by the king brings it home that Australia is a constitutional monarchy and it has a king," he added. "Whether Australia becomes a republic is ... a matter for the Australian public to decide," said the letter from Buckingham Palace.Australians decided in a referendum in 1999 to retain Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. That result is widely regarded as a consequence of disagreement about how a president should be chosen rather than majority support for a monarch.
Anatolitis noted that Australia is far more multicultural now, with most of the population either born overseas or with an overseas-born parent.The enemy of Kamala Harris's enemy: A full-frontal assault to subdue Trump's MAGA movement Patients who are older, don’t speak English, and don’t have a high school education are more likely to experience harm during a hospital stay in Canada, according to new research.Health Canada released an advisory Wednesday warning that baby walkers available online may pose a risk of injury and reminding consumers the items are already banned in Canada.Meta has launched a new campaign to protect teens and children from social media sextortion scams.
