I wonder about the significance of the Prime Minister (a republican) having himself described as "Mr" rather than "The Hon". I also think that the program includes too many Indigenous-themed engagements (three plus the inevitable 'Welcome to Country' at Parliament House and, possibly, at every other event they attend) for less than four per cent of the population.

Like Nellie, below, I think the barbecue is a good way for The King and Queen to meet a range of people in an informal setting. It's not The KIng's first barbecue and I'm sure he'll dress down .
