Australia wins Commonwealth Games
Quelle surprise. We always knew Australia was every bit the summer sports powerhouse as Canada is winter. We didn't have to wait until the conclusion of the Melbourne Commonwealth Games to find that out. What is not so well known perhaps is that even so, some Australians are still strangely insecure in their "national pride, national identity and national resolve". Presumably because the rest of the world is denied the opportunity to look up in awe to an Australian president:
"For a country as powerful on the sporting field as Australia it seems inconceivable that we can flog the English in the medal tally but offer them up our top constitutional position on a platter...
But hopefully through our magnificent athletes we can learn something about national pride and national identity. National pride and identity means the Australian people demanding an Australian head of state now and not at some inevitable time way off into the future. Thirty-seven of the 53 Commonwealth nations have made this leap of faith and have forged their own destiny. Australia led the pack in securing our independence from Great Britain, and we should now join the pack in formalising it. Our national pride, our national identity, and our national sovereignty demands it."
Does Peter van Vliet actually lack national self-confidence just because Prime Minister Howard is not president? Really? Is that what all of this is about? Do you think he lies awake at night dreaming of saluting his own President; that his own national self-esteem actually depends on it? Does he really believe the rest of the world even cares?
And they say monarchists speak from the heart, whereas republicans speak from the head. Is that why Peter here would foresake most of glorious Australia in a false bid to conciliate his own nationalist feelings? Is he willing to say goodbye to the fiercely proud Royal Australian Navy and all of "Her Majesty's Australian Ships"? Is he willing to let go of the Royal Australian Air Force and every one of the Queen's Australian Regiments? How about the Royal Australian Mint? The Royal Australian Chemical Institute? The Royal Australian Institute of Architects?...et cetera. How much more of Australia's royal and national pride would Peter wreck? Believe me, we're just getting started here folks.
All for what? All for a political president? King Edward's thousand year throne for a republican child? Peter, say it isn't so. You and your republican mates have got to be joking.
