Take on Royal Visit from Jindabyne NSW

Yes, the visit continues.  Kate Greenwood of Jindabyne has her views published in the Sydney Morning Herald letters:  “Thank you David Marr for reminding us of the absurdity of Australia’s persistence with the monarchy.  I found the Queen’s speech the other night extremely patronising, rather like an ancient aunt saying to her great nieces and nephews, ‘My, haven’t you grown!’ when she deigns to visit once in a blue moon….I have nothing against the Queen as a person, and love a good royal wedding, but I want a head of state who is  Australian, who lives in Australia, who is appointed on merit, not by birth, and above all who supports Australia in the cricket.  Someone like Quentin Bryce would do nicely.”
