It has been reported:
"King Charles and Queen Camilla are facing an embarrassing snub by leading Australian politicians ahead of their tour of the country.
As the couple prepares to kick off their nine-day visit Down Under on Friday, every single state premier has turned down invitations to attend their royal reception in Canberra on October 21, reports suggest.
The King is set to deliver a speech at the event to recognise Australians for their achievements in the arts, culture, sports and health.
Victoria's Premier Jacinta Allan is the latest representative to snub the invitation, whilst other politicians have given excuses such as "schedule clashes" and "election campaign duties."
This royal snub is by Republican Labor Party premiers; only Tasmania has a Liberal premier, Jeremy Rockliff. I did not see if he was attending but I sent his office an email to check, and if he is not attending will get to the bottom of it. This is what Australians get by voting for the Labor Party. I have seen today a number of comments about the future of Australia by US social critics, such as Ben Bartee, but it is depressing and they see us in a bad shape. Almost as bad as them. Help! Let's not let it end this way.
