Australian Pm

[Rondy]

Anthony Albanese the chirpy Australian Prime Minister, flies to England for a meeting with the king. Over a cup of tea, Albanese brings up his grand new plans for his country.

"Your Majesty, mate, can we turn Australia into a kingdom, in order to increase its force in the world market?"

The king shakes his head and replies, "One needs a king for a kingdom, Mr Howard and unfortunately you are most certainly not a king."

Not to be dissuaded, Anthony asks, "Would it be possible just to transform Australia into an empire then?"

"No, you chubby-faced chap," snorts the King Charles, "for an empire you need an emperor, and you are most certainly not an emperor."

Howard thinks for a moment and then asks if it is possible to to turn Australia into a principality. The king replies, "For a principality, you need a prince, and you Mr Howard are definitely not a prince."

Pausing for a sip of her tea, His Majesty then adds: "I don't mean to appear rude but having met both you and several other Australians, I do think Australia is perfectly suited as a country..."
