Nevertheless, it is one deserving of your embrace.
You missed the point, Pete Skyring.
No I didn't. I was making a point for you, but I don't think you've worked it out yet. I'm not a troll, I'm not a vandal. I speak the truth as I see it. I accept that I can make errors and I accept correction when it is valid. If I have a major flaw it is that I am far too quick to point out the flaws in others, and to take pleasure in doing so, the amount of my pleasure in direct proportion to their level of arrogance.
The Prime Minister of Australia sees the Governor-General as Australia's head of state. That's not my opinion, it's the opinion of the head of government, and it's not up to you or any other editor to deny it. Furthermore, it's not just the Prime Minister of this country, it is senior members of both parties. Simon Crean, during his time as Leader of the Opposition also called the Governor-General the head of state. You have the leaders of both of the major parties in Federal Parliament saying the same thing.
That doesn't make the Governor-General the undisputed head of state, but one point you don't seem to have grasped is that there IS a dispute. Not between you and me and any other editor; our opinions don't matter a damn. There is a diiference of opinion at the highest levels of national leadership.
And now, if you look at [[Government of Australia]] we see that someone else has stuck his head up and pointed out what I've said for the past six months, and they have provided verifiable sources, as I did. And surprise, surprise, we see the same mindless reverts and the same threats coming from the same editors.
I say that you should assume good faith, Mister Admin. That's my point.
