RIP Queen Elizabeth II. An icon of the Commomwealth. 70 years public service is impressive!

Re: RIP Queen Elizabeth II

Quite a historic event.

Was accosted for being mean spirited, but it didn’t sit right with me at work today when the acknowledgment of country was immediately followed by a request for a tribute to the Queen.

I noticed they held back on tributes during the AFLW games because it is indigenous round. But proceeded with them in the mens game. Fair enough.

I’m processing what it means. Feels significant, end of an era. Perhaps the start of the end of the monarchy.

Nah you're good I reckon. People may like the Queen as a personality but I doubt what she symbolizes and the institutions she represents/benefit from look so great to our First Nations citizens. On a similar note the Irish have reacted in a very Irish manner to the news as well

That's awesome.

Re: RIP Queen Elizabeth II

Yeah, it's OK to respect her as a person in some ways and also think some elements of her personality aren't great, or the institutions she represents are repulsive.

In fact it's better to be that way rather than being in for or all against.

Surely the time for logical discussion has passed and now is the time for senseless bickering?

It's almost like you're suggesting that things aren't always black and white!

Her staff certainly weren't until the late 60's!

Boom tish

Re: RIP Queen Elizabeth II

You guys don’t want my opinion on the Queen but that minutes silence after the welcome to country was really messed up and I’m glad they addressed it.

I know Charlie becomes king (as is Targaryen tradition), but who inherits the dragons?

I apologise, and will retreat to my foxhole from where I will lob grenades haphazardly!

Watching the post Ch7 footy coverage of the QE2 death and Charles coronation double header and it's almost as weird as the Ch7 footy coverage, but not quite.

Which is fantastic for those based in Melbourne, but for the rest of us, this is the second last day of term in Perth ... wrong day for a public holiday. Keep it on the Monday where it was first touted to be.
