You mean the BBC? The BBC is "nonsense"?

In other words, fact that contradict you are "nonsense". Gotcha.
BBC does in fact produce lots of nonsense propaganda programmes, which I wont waste my time watching.

The BBC has also attacked Hamas. Is that still propaganda?

Or is it only propaganda if it contradicts your beliefs?

Ok ... I just figured out your problem. You lack the ability to discern what is propaganda and what is not. Therefore you suck in all the nonsense the media and other organisations push down your throat. I guess it saves you the trouble to think for yourself.

Australia may be a constitutional monarchy but it's a token one these days. Our "monarchs" aren't royals, they're ordinary folk appointed by governments and rubber-stamped by the British monarch of the day. Their duties are ceremonial except for a few reserve powers, which were exercised once, in 1975, to dismiss a federal government.

British royals show up here every so often, we put on a bit of a show for them and they go home again. We don't need to become a republic, we've got exactly what we want already.

@Kewpie
I wish you well. I just hope the same thing goes like this in the US ten years from now.

The King has vowed not to stand in the way if Australia wants to become a republic, it has emerged.

He told anti-monarchist campaigners that “whether Australia becomes a republic is… a matter for the Australian public to decide”.

The remarks were made in a lette ...[text shortened]... vate secretary ahead of the King’s historic six-day official visit to the country next week.
The Australian republic of former prisoners and guardsmen.

And everything's bloody posionous.
