Charles said to be adopting ‘anti-confrontational approach’ to republican campaigners before visit

King Charles has said he will not stand in the way if Australia wishes to replace him as the country’s head of state, it has been reported.

Ahead of his visit later this month, the king is said to be adopting an “anti-confrontational approach” to Australian republican campaigners, the Daily Mail reported.

    It could be argued that the senate (also being unelected) is better at filling the role you ascribe to the GG. If anything it’s even better, since they don’t serve for a set term, and they have a much more involved legislative role.

      You might be right, but our southern neighbours also have a Senate and it doesn’t seem to help…
