Oz is starting to wake up.
They sure are.
A recent survey showed that only one third of the population supports Australia becoming a Republic.
Two thirds support Australia's Constitutional Monarchy system of govt.
King Charles, the other day, attended an event in NSW Parliament House celebrating 200 years of the Legislative Council. 1824.
Australia became a federated nation, the Commonwealth of Australia, on Jan 1st 1901.
Similar to America, .......which was a British colony, to which Britain was sending 50,000 plus convicts before the war of Independence.......the individual colonies in Australia were united into a federated nation.
America kicked the British out.
Australia got independence, no war, with a Constitutional Monarchy.
State and Federal constitutions.
Federal ...House of Representatives, and a Senate.
States...the same, except for Qld, Queensland state, which doesn't have a senate.
Indigenous are 3% of the population of Australia.
The tall ships from Britain, the First Fleet, .......carrying convicts that would've been sent to America, .......as well as some free settlers, arrived in Botany Bay in 1788...to start a new colony.
Botany Bay, not a suitable place to start a new colony, so they moved up to what is today Sydney harbour.
On Jan 26th 1788, the Union Jack was raised there and the land claimed for Britain.
Jan 26th annually celebrated as Australia Day.
Protester Ms Thorpe, shouting at King Charles yesterday in the Federal Parliament, only made the Constitutionl Monarchy supporters nationwide cheer their support for the King even louder.
