‘Breaking’ news: our constitutional monarchy wins gold!

Raygun's cringeworthy 'breaking' performance at the Woke Olympics

 The biggest challenge for the republican movement in Australia is what FitzSimons referred to as:

    …an apathetic public with an “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” mindset.

Hence, the Assistant Minister for the Republic has quietly disappeared along with ‘breaking’ as an Olympic event.

Alexandra Marshall in the Unfiltered newsletter:

And Michael de Percy is extremely cheerful today as he reflects on Labor’s official nixing of the Assistant Minister for a Republic (that doesn’t exist). It’s once bitten, twice shy for Albanese when it comes to asking the public what they want.

Terry Barnes in the Morning Double Shot newsletter:

Michael de Percy notes that, under cover of the Olympics, one aspect of the Albanese reshuffle escaped much detection: the portfolio of Assistant Minister for the Republic was quietly put to sleep. He then compared that disappearance to break-dancing being dropped from the next Olympics, and commented on the cringeworthy performance in Paris of Dr Rachel Gunn, aka Raygun, who proved white women can’t dance. Still on the topic of the constitutional monarchy going for gold, we totted up the Paris gold medals won by the countries of which Charles III, including Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand, is King. Lo and behold, the King’s dominions can lay claim to 53 gold medals, well ahead of both China and the USA on 40 each, but those behemoths each having populations far bigger than all the Crown realms put together. David Flint will be delighted!
