Julia and the Queen
At her meeting with Queen Elizabeth, Julia Gillard turned to the Queen and said:
“As I am Prime Minister, I’m thinkin’ of changing how my great country is referred to, and I’m thinkin’ that it should be a Kingdom.”
The Queen replied, “I’m sorry Ms Gillard, but to be a Kingdom, you have to have a King in charge – and you’re not a King.”
Julia Gillard thought for a while and then said: “How about a Principality then?” To which the Queen replied, “Again, to be a Principality you have to have a Prince – and you’re not a Prince.”
Gillard thought long and hard and came up with “How about an Empire then?”
The Queen, getting a little annoyed by now, replied, “Sorry again, Ms Gillard, but to be an Empire you need to have an Emperor in charge – and you are not an Emperor.”
Before Gillard could utter another word, the Queen said, “I think you’re doing quite nicely as a Country.”
