UK,sucsession to throne lae changed in Australia!

I was listening to RT News, and apparently the law to the heir of the UK (and comonwealth throne) has been passed in Australia during the Queen's visit, so that it is no longer the eldest male but the eldest CHILD that will succeed to the throne.
I have no links to this at the moment as it was on their live news broadcast.
Why passed in Australia? Apparently heads of Commonwealth States were there to agree and pass it into law.
What else will they pass into law regarding the British UNWRITEN constitution?

yes, the chogm (commonwealth heads of government meeting) was held in western australia today, so it really has nothing to do with australia its just where they were meeting this time.
i doubt they will pass much but i think they were considering letting homosexuals marry. clearly the monarchy has realised it has to keep up with the times

I suspect the Commonwealth heads were talking about it and agreeing it would be a good thing, rather than passing a law.
The succession to the British crown has been controlled by Act of Parliament for three centuries- starting in 1700 (if memory serves) with the Act of Succession.
However, a change would affect other monarchical Commonwealth countries as well, because they would have to decide whether to follow suit or allow the successions to diverge, so it makes good diplomatic sense to talk it over with them first.

According to RT News, that is exactly what all the Commonwealth States have agreed to. The news is on again as I type this will let you know more.

All it means is that if their first child is a girl she will become Queen, likewise if it's a boy he will be King, there just wont be a wait for a boy anymore

The Queen is in Perth today for CHOGM after touring around the country.
Why now here in Australia? Who knows.

The reason it was agreed in Australia was it had to be agreed by the 13 British Overseas Dependencies. The 13 where at the CHOGM so it makes sense rather than have to fly them all in London. Easy peasey.

the law has not changed - it has only been agreed ` in principal ` that it should be changed

to change the law requires a bill to pass the UK house of commons , and house of lords

which is not a given

however failure to ammend the law will bolster republican movements in commonweath nations

Aw how nice of them..

The sooner we ditch these cretinous parasites and their stupid inbred faces the better.

I think they just got confused - Cameron has stated this today (in the UK) and Queenie currently happens to be in Australia. Typical RT to be honest - much as i love it as a news source, they are good at smudging stories!

Also, he / she will be allowed to marry a catholic if they so choose instead of the current system of any religion apart from catholic

Yes, I realize that I just meant why THIS CHOGM?
A bit convenient isn't it?

Dependencies? WTF is that? Are Canada or Australia or any of the other "commonwealth" COLONIES dependent on the UK. I think not! The UK is dependent on many of us (the colonies). Without us, its infrastructure would have collapsed and that little island would have been more than bankrupt a long long time ago.

The UK government, like any other government is a corporation. Corporations do not throw money for very long at "dependent" corporations as they are perceived as a loss and consequently sold to some sucker or simply cut loose.

Calm Down. Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc are not "Overseas Dependencies" Here is the list:-

As for this "Little Island" would that be the same one that had the largest Empire the World as ever know, along with forming the country that you live in? Not bad for a "Little Island" Eh?

You might want to get to your point? Rome fell in a day, remember? That little island may have started an empire long ago, but it's getting old and tired and physically overrun through moronic immigration policies. England may have been a shining jewel cast in gold at one point, but now it is nothing more than a rather low class bit of glass sitting in a rusted iron setting. That's not saying I don't like the English, Scottish and Irish, I think they're great people, like most others, I just don't like inbred absentee landlords or their spawn much.

Absolutely. Hear hear. It's always been my dream - and I'd assume I'm not alone - to watch the empire crumble to it's last, it's alien masters banished or burned.

Erm.....what about the Welsh? I am Welsh and the last time I looked I was part of the UK...or don't we count just because we are a 'Principality'? Now there's a laugh!
