Baffling

We all know you're a royalist, Brian. ;-)

When is the NZ government going to pay for Buck House, and all the Royals, to be shipped down under?

But, seriously, I'm saddened because this reduces Charles' chances of actually sitting on the throne. Seeing as he's really an old hippy with a posh accent, I can well imagine him putting future PMs in awkward positions.

I still say the royal family should intervene on the MPs 2nd homes issue; keep 'em all in the Tower of London!

We pay for them...when they are doing the odd act as the NZ head of state. Which happens every so many months. Otherwise we get a good deal, a bacially free Head of State :P
