Yeah well we know starmers relation to the police and their relation to the black community. And the labour rights approach to rolling over to whatever the tabloids say. So labour is going to be trying it's hardest to make a platform with no sign of the dread critical race theory that's tearing this country apart. They don't want to become the party of white genocide *the times continue to call them the party of white genocide*

Can someone point out to me why the gently caress this US/UK/AUS defense pact even a thing and why is it even necessary since there’s already NATO and Since everyone knows that Australia and the UK are the left and right Testicles of the American empire so it really goes without saying that they’re already in a military alliance.

I still think it's just because the Brits' feelings were hurt over Afghanistan so they get to feel valued or something. I see you, I hear you, I'll let you pay for my submarines.

Not actually the Australian's (or the Canadians and every other member of the Commonwealth's) fault that they never successfully threw off the yoke of perfidious Albion. It is funny how blatant it is, it's impossible to argue that Australia is a sovereign nation when poo poo like this happens.

oh i have about a trillion worse things to say about this hellish place, it's just my critiques are formed from a mind and as such have a coherence that is appreciable, you know? i don't think of a set that includes the united states and rhodesia and go "clearly superior", then look at canada and australia and go "you guys need to be more like us" clearly your problem is that you're too subservient. to the uk and the queen specifically somehow, definitely not to anyone else. after all, australia signed up to that dumb defence pact. who could imagine another country in my examples taking a different tact? clearly their problem is monarchism

quote:The monarch chose not to intervene during the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis, in which Governor-General Sir John Kerr dismissed the Labor government of Gough Whitlam, on the basis that such a decision is a matter "clearly placed within the jurisdiction of the Governor-General". Through her private secretary, she wrote that she "has no part in the decisions which the Governor-General must take in accordance with the Constitution".[37] In an address to the Sydney Institute, January 2007, in connection with that event, Sir David Smith, a retired official secretary to the governor-general of Australia who had been Kerr's official secretary in 1975, described the constitution as conferring the powers and functions of Australia's head of state on the governor-general in "his own right". He stated that the governor-general was more than a representative of the sovereign, explaining: "under section 2 of the Constitution the Governor-General is the Queen's representative and exercises certain royal prerogative powers and functions; under section 61 of the Constitution the Governor-General is the holder of a quite separate and independent office created, not by the Crown, but by the Constitution, and empowered to exercise, in his own right as Governor-General... all the powers and functions of Australia's head of state."[30] good lord, y'all
