    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

The Australia Act (Cth, 1986) abolished the right to appeal to the Privy Council of the House of Lords and the reciprocal legislation abolished the right of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to make laws for Australia. There's nothing that prevents the Crown instructing its representative.

Why taking the 'Crown' off the top is a big step in people's minds baffles me. Why it's not seen to be a problem similarly baffles me. I don't see what's OK with even a theoretical possibility for interference by a Monarch, and I don't see what's OK with continuing to subscribe to a monarchy full stop.

Democracy or bust.
