Petition Calling on Republic MP to Retract Slur on Queen

Petition Calling on Republic MP to Retract Slur on Queen

The Honourable Matt Thistlethwaite MP, Shadow Assistant Minister for Financial Services and Shadow Assistant Minister for the Republic, posted on Tuesday 14 July 2020 on his Facebook “Today’s release in full of the Palace Letters confirm that Australia needs to begin another serious discussion about an Australian as our head of state – an Australian who acts is the interests of our nation and its people, not beholden to the advice, influence and interests of a foreign power.” [meaning that the Queen acts in the interests of a ‘foreign power ‘ with the inference that she is, herself, a 'foreign power']. Mr Thistlethwaite has also publicly repeated his claims on television and elsewhere.

Please sign this petition calling on Mr Thistlethwaite to retract his unfounded and quite blatantly wrong remarks relating to the Queen of Australia as being a foreign power. The Queen and her successors will always, without question or doubt, act in the interests of Australia.

    MP Thistlewaite should resign. These politician’s that swear allegiance when becoming an MP and then wish to change the constitution have not got the right to keep there position in parliament

    Mr Thistlethwaite, shame on you for promising to honour HM then casting aspersions on her. The letters between HM and our PM were to ensure he was acting according to law, before dismissing Whitlam – which is not interference on the part of the Queen.

    Thistlethwaite is an imposter so caught up in his anti-Australia agenda that he’s lost touch with what truth is.

    Her Royal Majesty served many people throughout her long life. These Repubblicans have nothing else to complain about or is their agenda simply to corrupt the carrying out of good deeds?

    The Labor/Greens Alliance is I believe Treasonous Behaviour. The Queen has been completely exonerated by the release of the Papers, but their behaviour and the lies will continue. They have no PRINCIPLES.

    To take an oath or to make a pledge is to give your word. Your word is your bond, and if your word is worthless, then you are worthless. Our system of government is the best in the world

    Thank goodness that we have the Monarchist League to advocate on behalf of our nation and our monarchy and call out those who seek to destroy a system that has served us incredibly well. Whatever the ‘come-and-go’ politicians say or do in this nation in terms of credibility, in terms of dedication to duty, in terms of stability and in terms of resilience Her Majesty the Queen is a faultless example. Long may Australia be a Monarchy and long may our ties to the UK and the US remain, for they are our true friends.

    I find his actions and statements to be intentionally misleading. . These people have no shame in lying to the people of this country; imagine how bad their republic would be.

    Who the hell needs a third world mickey mouse republic in addition to coronavirus, bushfires, and all the other problems we have at the moment ! …… or at any other time, for that matter. We were established as a modern nation by brave pioneering foreigners; and are to this day largely inhabited by foreigners or recent descendants of foreigners. We are a member of the UN ; an organisation currently with a foreign head – yet no-one has a problem with that.

    Thistlethwaite should resign.
