Girl Guides Bosses Out of Touch

Could the management of Girl Guides Australia be any more out of touch with mainstream Australians?

Today they have announced that they are dropping God and the Queen from their oath of allegiance, and replacing it with some wishy washy statement.

“The fact is that Australians agreed to unite in a Federal Commonwealth under God and the Crown. And that hasn’t changed.

As recently as 1999, the people reaffirmed this with an overwhelming majority in all States and in 73% of electorates. In fact, our politicians know there is so much support for our constitutional monarchy that, despite their strong republican beliefs, will not touch the issue with a ten foot barge pole.

When Girl Guides replied to ACM’s letter raising our concerns at the proposal, Commissioner, Belinda Allen, said they would be listening to their grassroots membership.

ACM calls on Girl Guides Australia to release the methods and findings of any such research.
