My blog is on holiday today

Today is a public holiday in the parts of Australia that I live and I have travel commitments. So I’ll be back on Wednesday. What is this holiday about?

Yes, it is deeply embarrassing but today is the King’s Birthday holiday in Australia that is meant to celebrate our glorious head of state, given that we are still legally tied to Britain and this twerp can sack a democratically elected Australian government if he wants.

And of course it has happened before, cue the – 1975 Australian Constitutional Crisis – which had nothing to a constitutional crisis and everything to do with the conservatives aided by the CIA and, finally, the Queen of England (as our head of state), disliking a progressive government that was threatening to take back control of American spy bases on Australian soil.

Here is our new head of state.

And – Tampongate – aka as Camillagate was the King in his full glory.

And Australia keeps this goon as our head of state.

Anyway, it is the King’s Birthday holiday so he is useful for something.

That is enough for today!
