Tony Abbott. “Monarchy is the tie that binds us together.” The Age. November 29, 2006 – “The monarch has an important symbolic role too: as “fountain of justice and honour”; guardian of the integrity of the armed forces and the public service; embodiment of the unity of the Commonwealth of Nations; and a reminder of the transcendent in the life of the world. In each case, the monarch represents that ideal of duty and service that is always beyond the reach of actual human beings but towards which all should strive.”
