Not one State Premier will greet Charles and Camilla at a reception in Canberra on October 21, despite all being invited.
A major snub has been dealt to the King, with several top Australian politicians dismissing the chance to meet him in Canberra during his upcoming tour.
However, Victoria's Premier Jacinta Allan has today confirmed she will not be attending, joining the list of those declining the offer to greet the royals. Bev McArthur, a spokesperson for the pro-royal Australian Monarchists League, branded the decision a "slap in the face" to the monarchy. South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas and New South Wales Premier Chris Minns have also excused themselves, citing a regional cabinet meeting and other engagements with the King during his visit, respectively. Tasmania's Premier Jeremy Rockliff will be on a US trade mission when the event takes place.
The Sunday Mail reports that 26 percent of respondents view the King more favourably since his ascension, while 21 percent have warmed to Queen Camilla. However, according to NewsCorps Pulse of Australia poll, only one in three Australians now back the idea of becoming a republic, a notable decrease from the 39.4 percent who voted in favour in the 1999 referendum.
At 75 years of age, Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer back in February, has been receiving weekly treatments in London. However, Royal physicians have given him the green light to briefly halt his treatment while he travels. Meanwhile, Mr Rowswell pointed an accusing finger at the State leader for overseeing a debacle when Victoria backed out of hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games last year. Victoria now faces a hefty invoice as another Commonwealth city is called upon to rescue the games teetering on the edge.
