Quentin Bryce - what a champion!

[i-need-a-martini]

How great is this woman?

In the last of the Boyer lectures she imagines an Australia where human rights are pivotal, all marriage is equal and we are our own republic.

Politicians take note.

Monarchists angry over GG's republic push

• ANGRY constitutional monarchists have called for the governor-general's scalp after she backed the republican movement in a landmark speech.

  Quentin Bryce threw her support behind gay marriage and the republican movement while delivering the final ABC Boyer Lecture of the year in Sydney.

  She reflected on her hope that "one day, one young girl or boy may even grow up to be our nation's first head of state".

  Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who was director of Australians for Constitutional Monarchy before entering parliament, said it was more than appropriate for Ms Bryce to share her personal views as the end of her term approaches.

  "She did it with grace and style," he told reporters in Sydney on Saturday.

  "Obviously different people have different views on these subjects."

Everything that Quentin Bryce does she does with grace and style, that is why she is an excellent GG.  🙂

[twinkles**stars]

Oh I agree she is very graceful and has a wonderful style, holds herself in a way that few seem to be able to follow these days.

Wow, clicked page one 'Quentin price what  a champion'. Clicked page four and one user with a chip  their shoulder changing the subject to disputes about politics and telling us about debates they have had  in public toilets.

To quote an Kamahl 'why are people so unkind'

Which specific Labor policies and opinions are you referring to, Silverfaun? 

Same sex marriage? - as I recall this was never a policy - it was a private member's bill and Labor members were allowed a conscience vote.

Republicanism? - ummm wasn't Macolm Turnbull a staunch supporter of this?

"Same sex marriage - a private member's bill"

Sorry she-el, not laughing at your post, just those two words together tickled my funny-bone lol.

I thought this was funny too, It was in my inbox this morning.

 No offence taken, Icy - I hadn't spotted the unintentional humour in that but you're right 

And your picture reminded me of " Last Of The Summer Wine".  It's so Nora Batty and Pearl.
