Foreign head of state

Sir: Neil Brown does a Tony Abbott and conflates republicanism with every socialist cause he can think of (12 August), as though right-wing republicans didn’t exist, and as though it would be physically impossible to improve the Constitution of this ludicrously over-governed country. He then goes on to rubbish Turnbull while praising Trump (over a telephone conversation leaked by Trump’s enemies, mind you), apparently oblivious to the fact that Trump’s patriotic supporters would be horrified about the idea of having a foreigner as head of state.
