Suddenly ABC TV has gone all British royal. Christmas Day programs have a distinctly regal feel about them. Evening ABC 1 started with the Queen’s Christmas Message at 7.20pm, followed by the Royal Variety Performance presided over by Charles and Camilla, then two repeats of documentaries about our Head of State including “The Queen at 90”. A real overdose after plum pudding and enough to give one indigestion from too many crowns, jewels, expensive frocks and the like.
Woman for an Australian Republic, Adelaide Ironside, republican poet and artist 1831-1867
