'David Hudson calls for respect and reform following Queen Elizabeth's death'. Good on you David, some 'common sense' over the debate. Look at the hatred festering in N.Ireland, Balkans and Middle East to show that protracted hatred is bad.

no wonder they lost their continent to the British.

Miss Wharton would not know her arse from her elbow

People are tired of the constant whining. Time to grow up.

The ‘sorry’ business is a hungry beast…

😥 Charles is not allowed to say anything. The daft people thinking Charles can comment on anything don't know the rules

Obviously to suggest the queen had anything to do with what happened over 200 yrs ago is wrong. Yet some continue to say she did. 🤔 To say it's what she stood for is also wrong, no way did she ever defend what was done over 200 yrs ago. But again some say she did defend it. 🤔

'step up' because this artist wants more money?

We want one of our own to be King of Australia. A British foreigner who doesn't even have a resident visa here here should not be king. He should be happy to be just king of his Traditional Land in the UK!

Try 'Disrespectful person expects respect.' ABC.😐👎

Is he talking about reconciliation or prostration?

While the world was on pause for the Queen, things have taken a darker turnEven amid these dark times, regime change should be an opportunity to confront our history more honestly, writes Laura Tingle. The 'world' wasn't on 'pause'. No, ABC, the world didn’t take a pause. The media did. The rest of us were trying to grab your attention to ask you to focus on the other things. Shame on you ABC. Your willful ignoring of the news to engage in mourn porn is an embarrassment to your purpose and you've failed Australia.
