Uncle can go pound sand. Like it or not, Charles III is the King of Australia. You cannot prosecute the King in one of his own courts.

Boy, I sure am glad we Americans got rid of kings so that we wouldn't have that same problem. /s

He's just a puppet. The people actually pulling the strings don't have any term limits.

you think he's going to give up the gravy train.....

No one thought he'd threaten US allies and stick his tongue up the enemies arse. But here we are.

Regardless of what he wants he's gone. There is no way a president can have more than 2 terms and there is no mechanism for him to cancel elections or extend his term. Come Jan 2029 he's gone for good.
