I have a remarkable photograph of a defiant Gough on the steps of parliament, and I was just thinking of his speech "well may we say God Save the Queen...because nothing will save the Governor General" when I logged on and there was your post.

Really believe the way forward is to become a Republic and take control of our destiny as a nation... would like to read your discussion with Gough about a Republic..I just read Craig Murray's article "The Four Mentors of King Charles"...shows what an objectionable person Charles is...time to cast off the monarchy....

Thanks Cherith, I had an article published in hard copy in the Fremantle Herald many years ago on my discussion with Gough about a Republic and subsequent submission to Malcolm Turnbull's Inquiry. I'll have to reconstruct it for Substack.

Please encourage friends or family to take up paid subscription, thanks.

I am already a paid subscriber. I don't see a way to send you a donation. I tried to send myself a gift subscription, but substack is smart and said that I could not send a gift to myself.

Thanks very much Laura for your support.

I think I was unclear. I was already a paid subscriber before you needed cash to get to Canberra. I'd send you a donation for that, too, if only you could set up some way that I could pay you.

Thanks very much, will contact you privately.

Yes I can and I will donate, Geoff - but where is the link to provide the donation!

How odd. Can you see any text in pink?

Ivo Bakota's avatar

Couldn’t see any direct donation text.

GeoffPainPhD's avatar

Can you see the word "subscribed" ? I tried editing buttons. Perhaps there is an option under "manage your subscription.

I can see “subscribed” but nothing else. I just upgraded my subscription to paid but would have rather sent you a bit more as a direct donation.

Thanks very much for your support.

Yes, Geoff, I have also upgraded my support to paid since you must speak to AMPS.
