...Ployse exployne???

I know it's been around for 100+ years but the whole GG/CinC thing is news to me.

You see, having checked my handy copy of the constitution I found farqueue is sort of correct - the actual wording states that "command in chief is vested in the Governor General", therefore his designation is still "Governor General" ). Still.... points to Far Q for knowing his poop.

I fell asleep long before I could find anything about who's entitled to Aussie One status or any other forms of fame, celebrity, honour or infamy. I'm pretty sure it doesn't say.

Oh by the way, I stumbled across another tidbit of information:

In the preamble of The Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, point #6 says that "The States" shall mean the colonies of New South Wales, New Zealand, Queensland, (etc, etc)." Interesting...

And now I'm off to the pub to get ****-faced like a good pilot.
