Queensland’s current Chief Health Officer, Dr Jeannette Young, has been approved by the Queen to be the next Governor of Queensland, the fourth woman to hold the job. When asked by a journalist if she was a monarchist, Young replied that this was “irrelevant” but was clear in her next statement: “I am here to provide a role that’s really important and I think our process of government in Queensland and Australia is to be envied around the world”. That definitely sounds like conviction constitutional monarchy to WfaAR. It is becoming increasingly important that establishment republicans reject these prestigious roles no matter how much they would like to accept them. It’s honour enough to be asked but the principle is more important to the future of the country. When she takes up her appointment in November, Young will be the fifth female State Governor out of six. There will be no State Governors in an Australian Republic, only the single Head of State located in Canberra.
