Great shame
But it appears that she failed to mention or it failed to be reported by John HoWARd's abcdefghijklmnopqrstwxz, that Australia's war crimes against humanity in Afghanistan and Iraq has earned disrespect by all peace loving nations around the world.
Well that would be less likely to promote the venue I guess, but true!
The Prime Meanster, John HoWARd, and his wife, Janette, hosted the black tie gathering for the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in the Great Hall in Dictatorship House in Canberra.
Former prime ministers Gough Whitlam, Bob Hawke and Malcolm Fraser were amongst the guests, along with former governors-general.
The Queen told the gathering that Australia has a proud record of defending freedom and democracy.
============================
Which was just another lie to go along with other one's they purport.
============================
Here we go now!
Queen of the killing: "Australia, in the course of my lifetime, has firmly established itself amongst the most respected nations of the world," she said.
"I'm clear that this country is already a key global player in the 21st Century, a voice of wisdom and honesty, a tough and dependable operator in our exciting, fast moving world."
=============================
Excuse me does Queen mean lie? Does that not include Afghanistan and Iraq?
Wisdom: Illegal and degrading war and torture!
Honesty: Amongst other things Kids overboard, The Australian Wheat Board etc...
Tough and dependable: Pre-emptive strikes on foreign nations states and not cutting and running from and illegal and degrading war and subsequent occupation.
Earlier today, the Queen held private audiences with Mr Coward and with no opposition Lib/Lab's well-paid loser Leader Kim Sleazley at the Dictator House.
The next stop on the royal itinerary is Melbourne, for functions including the 'Otherswealth' Games opening ceremony tonight.
Looks like someone else besides Iraqi's and Afghanistani's are complaining too! What did you do to those Aborigines?
