USA joining the Commonwealth. What do you think?

There are reports in the international media that plans are 'being discussed at the highest levels' of British government that the United States become an 'associate member' of the Commonwealth of Nations, earlier known as the British Commonwealth.  It is expected that this will be a major topic of discussion during President Trump's upcoming state visit to the United Kingdom.

For the USA to join the Commonwealth is a huge step and could lead to the creation of a new economic force against the expansionist plans of Russia and China, something that has never before been envisaged as a role of the Commonwealth which, unlike the United Nations, does not have a military wing.

Whilst, at this stage, the matter does not directly affect the Australian Constitution, it could well have an impact in the future.

It would therefore be appreciated if you could indicate whether or not you agree.

Thank you

Helping us to do our job

Be Kept Up To Date

Be informed on matters surrounding our current system of government, our way of life, and Australia's independence. 

The Prince of Wales & Climate Change Action

The subject of climate change and proposed human intervention is one that has created deep divisions amongst Australians. Whilst it is not a matter that falls within our mandate, we have nevertheless become enmeshed because of the advocacy of the Prince of Wales in promoting action and the resulting implications this may have to the future of our system of constitutional monarchy.

Members will be well aware that I have expressed concerns over many years to his Royal Highness pointing out that as he is carrying out duties on behalf of the Queen it is incumbent on him not to make any comment on any matter of controversy and that his future subjects would obviously have differing opinions on differing issues all of which he must respect whether he agrees or not.

It is important for us, the Australian Monarchist League to be aware of the opinions of our support base on this issue and we would therefore very much appreciate your answering a couple of questions in any, sort of, survey. This will help us plan a pathway through this difficult time.

Congratulating the Prime Minister

Labor leader, Anthony Albanese has called on the prime minister to provide more funding to the ABC. The prime minister has rejected the call and should be congratulated.

To the Prime Minister, the Hon. Scott Morrison MP
Parliament House
CANBERRA ACT 2600

I applaud your decision in dismissing the call from Labor leader, Anthony Albanese, to reverse the government’s funding freeze on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
