It certainly feels like yet another case of “Australia says thing and no one cares”. Firstly, the monarchy rules Australia so they can do what they want without Australia having a say. Secondly, Andrew is so far down the line of succession that this is a fairly pointless thing to even mention. Unless Prince Harry and Prince William (with all three of his kids) all have some sort of freak accident in a Parisian tunnel, Andrew will never live to see the throne anyway. Even if Charles, his kids AND their kids ALL get wiped out, Anne is next in line before Andrew. So… whatever. Slow clap for Albo I guess.
Wait, if he’s no longer prince, how can he still be in the line of succession?

Line of succession
A member of the royal family can also be removed from the line of succession to the throne by legislation, although under a convention enshrined in the preamble to the Statute of Westminster 1931 this would require the consent of every other Commonwealth Realm (independent states where the King is also head of state).
Is it still possible to get him out of the line of succession by forcing him to convert to Catholicism?
This is what I was trying to figure out, too. I feel like this should be automatic.
I’d like to see removal of the entire line of succession. Let’s do the CEO thing and make them state what good they do for the client.
It’s crazy that Australia would need to weigh in, but here we are still.
After acknowledging that Palestinian people exist, this may be the bravest thing Albo has ever done.
I wonder where growing up in housing commission flats in the 70s sits on that list.
Actually no, I want Andrew to be arrested, and then become king, and force the commonwealth to decide if they want a paedophile king from prison or no king at all.
