  • The UK monarchy have no such power under Australia’s Constitution.

    Constitutional duties

    The Governor-General has specific constitutional and statutory powers. The Governor-General acts on the advice of Ministers who are responsible to Parliament (and ultimately, through elections, the Australian people).

    Key constitutional duties include:

    - Presiding over the Federal Executive Council
    - Facilitating the work of the Commonwealth Parliament and Government
    - Dissolving Parliament and issuing writs for a Federal election
    - Commissioning the Prime Minister; appointing Ministers and Assistant Ministers; and swearing-in other statutory positions
    - Holding and possibly exercising the Reserve Powers.
    

    Under the Australian Constitution, the only action performed by The King is the appointment of the Governor-General (on the advice of the Australian Prime Minister).

  • Israel adopted the victim mentality a long time ago. Yes, they were victims of the Holocaust and yes, the world had treated them like shit for thousands of years.

    The thing is that they adopted their victimhood unequivocally and then became like the spoiled child who knows how to manipulate their ‘parents’ to get what they want. And it’s worked.

    There was a time when Israel at least tried to act like a nation of people who wanted to grow, but since Netanyahu and his right-wing alliances took power Israel has become no better than Hamas – using genocidal violence to lead.
