Hip Hip Hooray I don't blame Gillard for not showing common courtesy........... She must be so sick and tired of bowing and scraping to the Greens and Independents
There is no rule that says she had to curtsy to the Queen. She chose to bow and that is fine. It's only silly Monarchists who are up in arms. I wonder why those people just don't move to England and be done with it. I hope she leaves sooner than planned. I hate the fact that we have to pay for her visit when she does virtually nothing at all.
Mak you are wrong about the up in arms comment. I am a republican and think the monarchy has no bearing on modern life. But in saying that she IS our queen right now and as such should be respected.
Exactly! It's not like she slapped her on the back and said "Hey Lizzie, how's it hangin'?". Getting up in arms over a bow instead of a curtsey is childish nonsense.
I've seen the news footage and I didn't see him touch her butt. I can't even find a You Tube video of him touching her at all...
You are right Mak, and i retract the statement that he touched her butt, he did however touch the queen.
Thank you for the retraction. I also do not find it a problem that someone touched the Queen. Keating appears like he was simply guiding her.
Protocol is that you dont touch the queen Cheating broke the rule. But then again what could've been expected from such an incompetent fool like him
You can not be serious Mak...Cheating was one of the most corrosive pm's of all time. Howard on the other hand was a great PM that kept the country on track. Yes Mak before you chime in with your hate speech he did involve us in a war and has TOUGH on border jumpers, two things that were NEEDED at the time. http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hpho...03779_100002306836926_349337_1305350360_n.jpg
If Keating would have touched the Queen's arse, the media would have had a field day. The pics would have ran on every front page in every newspaper around the Commonwealth. Now,,show us the pics. No pics,,,no proof!
