I never thought I would read a fairly argued article by David Flint.

David,there is much more to be said; the highly questionable process of appointment. Margaret’s idea is good except;voted on by sitting of both houses with the PM having a casting vote if required. Also time to review the appointment of high cout justices

For David Flint to write a balanced piece about this subject, means he wants something very, very badly. What could that something be? Great bollocks of fire. He wants to be the next GG! In this position he can make sure we stay in the dark ages for ever

Does it really matter? The best thing about the previous GG was that he was almost invisible. Couldnt we simply draw lots?

The real question should be ‘Can a woman be GG?’ For over 100 years there has never been a woman deemed worthy of the role. It is not a position that should be filled on the whim of aPM but rather by the HOf R after receiving nominations from the States

David,

I just hope you live long enough to see Australia become a republic. To know that the lies of you and your hero Howard were simply a speedbump to the progress of Australia. If you don’t live long enough, know that it will happen.

Flint, you pompous fool, it’s “the Queen”. “The Queen” is a film starring Helen Mirren.
