Yes I would also oppose any Royal intervention, however if Shorten were to become PM with his mother in law as GG, (the Queen's representative), there would be a massive conflict of interests. That would concern me more.
Actually it concerns me, but is not surprising with this mob, that a Republican would give another Republican a Royal representative role.
Gillard is the face to hate, but the real problem is the Greens who she needs to massage to maintain power. And that's what it's all about. Power which is already corrupted and can soon be absolutely corrupted.
I wouldn't put it past the scheming shrew to dump the Greens prior to the next election, but well after she has got her agenda items through the Senate.
