Quite the reign! Can't help but feel a bit sad really.

Indeed she reigned for about 30% of U.S. history.

(credit for observation goes to Matt Glassman)

And she was queen of Australia for over 57% of its history.

Maybe we can finally become a Republic.

Ugh, and suffer Tony Abbott as President?

Serious question: name someone who might realistically be President who would not make you sad.

Michael Kirby, Marie Bashir–both too old now, but either could have been a fine President if we had become a republic sooner. Or, similarly, Ted Egan, former Administrator of the Northern Territory.

Frank Brennan–the whole his being a Catholic priest thing is somewhat of an obstacle, admittedly (although possibly not a completely insurmountable one.)

What about Susan Kiefel? Or Angus Campbell?

Thanks for the thoughtful response. If someone from this sort of list — I’ll pass on the priest, thanks, but otherwise — could make it, yeah, okay.

Perhaps I’m just jaded. I don’t see it happening. I see it being one of the same old dudes that we all basically can’t stand.
