Christine Wallace sizes up Australia’s next King

Canberra Times weekend columnist, Christine Wallace writes, “…one of the most important speeches on culture given this year was by England’s best known organic farmer, the Prince of Wales”. She goes on to comment, “Should Liz fall under a bus, Charles would not only be King of England but King of Australia. The heir to the throne is known for his trenchant letter writing. He frequently sends sharp missives to British government ministers urging action on public policy issues that matter deeply to him. Has he written to the man, who on Charles’ own definition, must be considered Australia’s Climate Change Denier No. 1? Given Charles is due to inherit this wide brown land from his mum sooner rather than later, if not, why not? If so, what did Australia’s Climate Change Denier No. 1 say back to him? Given Australia’s Climate Change Denier No. 1’s intimate role in preserving this country as a constitutional monarchy and his vaunted love and respect for the royals, Charles’ full frontal assault on denialists [sic] must surely have triggered an epiphany. If so, let’s hear about it.”
