  1. Says the person who’s appointed by an overseas monarch 👑 on the recommendation of the UK’S Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer.

    I’d rather have ANTIGUANS acknowledging ANTIGUANS.

    The colonial brainwashed “Sir” Clare Roberts is rather evident in this matter. So sad really, but not surprising that he deems this an issue …

  2. The Senate has failed to fulfill its intended purpose. It has devolved into a place where seats are given out as political favors and to secure pensions. We need to move to a unicameral house for real representation and accountability.

  3. This issue must be addressed in a wholistic manner. It may even extend to our country becoming a republic. Our country is part of the Commonwealth and the King is Charge represented by the Governor General.
