If you did not live in Australia, you would probably not realise but the Queens of England is still the titular Head of State of Australia. (The debate about becoming a Republic ebbs and flows.) For the record, I must state that nothing would give me greater pleasure than looking the Queen in the eye, and saying “G’day Betty, how are you doing?” I’d probably be breaking some law I imagine, but there is no way that I will bow before another man (or woman).
