    I can’t believe anyone is seriously advancing this as a point 😆 But I’ll give the benefit of the doubt and give it a serious response:

    If the 1999 republic referendum had succeeded, the government of the day would have advised the monarch to abolish their rule over Australia. Senator Thorpe is simply doing the same thing, albeit in a different way. Sometimes true friendship allegiance means telling hard truths.
