Well, thanks so much for having me, Sasha.

It's great to be here.

I am looking forward to the visit.

I think it'll be a historic visit.

It's the first time an Australian King has visited Australia.

And so I think that there'll be a, hopefully, a groundswell of support among patriotic Australians who turn out to see the King.

The Australian Monarchist League has been very involved in the on-the-ground activities.

We're

I think our numbers are looking like we're going to distribute about 12,000 Australian flags during the tour, both in Sydney and in Canberra collectively.

So I'm sure that whatever happens, you know, nothing will detract from the fact that our Crown is visiting Australia and all things considered, that's something to be very grateful for.

Well, there's two very simple reasons, as far as I can tell, for why we should.

The first is that definitively constitutional monarchy is the best system of government yet devised by humanity.

The second simple reason is the Republican movement has

and Republicans generally, have not prosecuted a convincing argument for why we should change our system.

And more to the point, they've not told us what their system, the way that they would do things, would be better than what we already have.

And this might sound like an oversimplification, but it's not.

It's just a logical conclusion.

Now, if you listen to the general rhetoric of the Republicans, they're very keen to make emotional appeals.

They're very keen to

provide sweeping statements and things like that, but they're very light on detail.
