A State Proclamation Ceremony, acknowledging the accession of His Majesty The King will be held on the steps of Parliament House at 2pm on Sunday 11 September.
Members of the public are invited and, to make the event as accessible as possible, all public transport will be free on Sunday.
The event will be live-streamed for those unable to attend.
Lol, what is this? 1200s?
Well may we say God save the King - because nothing will save diddy50.
Someone is still salty about Gough 😂
Are we really in the 21st century?
As long as people like it, even in 50th century. Apply for everything.
majority of people don't like it actually, but you wouldn't believe that, would you?
You can assume that, before the next referendum.
I personally don't care this.
God Bless Queen Elizabeth II. She was a consistently selfless, gracious, resilient,m and dutiful leader. One of the greatest leaders in Modern History. I doubt we shall see someone of her caliber again in our lifetime. Most of all, I admire her faith in Jesus Christ. May she rest peacefully in His loving arms.
Last comment was in 2014. And now this? Lol
Indeed.
Wtf has she done?
Genocide, Etc. There is too much she did do or ‘allow’ that impacts people to this day.
@thriftysach: I don’t think she was responsible for the 100 million plus who died under the communist regimes of the 20th century.
Lol what exactly did she "lead"? Her position is just ceremonial with no real influence or powers.
Ye olde Adelaide in Terra Australis
King Charles, third of his name.
I hear this being said in a strong Irish accent.
Turd of his name.
@jaydee4: Another post from a scaremongering nutball conspiracy youtube page. You are not made for the internet jaydee.
Excellent. Definitely need to use this as much as possible.
Then go watch Norwood v Crows in the prelim down the road at AO

"You get an O-Bahn! You get an O-Bahn! Everybody gets an O-Bahn!"
Well, sir, there's nothing on earth like a genuine, bona fide, electrified, six-car Monorail! What'd I say?
Monorail!
What's it called?
Monorail!
That's right! Monorail!
Sir, this is an O-Bahn
Can i drive my car on this O-Bahn you speak of?
Welcome to Adelaide!
Everyone gets 1 free drive on the tracks. 🚗
I don't get it what the big deal is. She was nearly 100 years old. People die every day
She was also head of state for 2.4 billion people, about 32% of the earth's population.
Again, so what is the big deal? Something perfectly normal happened to her. It is not like she died at a young age. Thousands of children will die/died today and nobody cares.
It's the marking of the end of an era. The end of any remaining love for the Royal family. Republic incoming. God save President Albanese.
What planet are you on? We earthly humans ever-so love social hierarchy and revere higher classes.
Are you nuts, or have you been in a time machine for the last century? uk canada australia and a few odd islands in the pacific and caribbean don't make up 1/3 of the world's population! Or are you talking about 60 years ago?
I think they confused Commonwealth of Nations & Commonwealth Realm.
Your list is about 50 countries short
Those countries have a population of 2.4 billion
The Commonwealth is made up of 54 member states from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Pacific. The member states are home to a total of over 2.4 billion people.

The population of earth is 7.79 billion

I failed chemistry but I think that's about 32% of earth.
Maybe 3.2% I don't know when to carry the decimal.
I don't think it can be 320% because there is only one earth that I know of
@spaceflight: Never mind your chemistry marks it appears you have failed geography.
The British Monarch is not the head of state of every country in the Commonwealth, India alone has a population of 1.4 billion and is a republic, so just by inspection the number of people with ERII as head of state is at most 1 billion, which is 13% of the population.
You can carry this through and use the thing you should be using (the Commonwealth Realms as opposed to the Commonwealth) the actual number is under 2%.
@spaceflight: Are you serious? How can someone be that wrong? Half of these countries don't even like the UK?Queen.
Hmm, where were you between the hours of…
Not a big deal, it's just people that take religion a bit too seriously love standing on soapboxes at odd times.
I hear the new king takes his own toilet seat wherever he goes. Don't like the peasants' @$$ prints, do we?
his reptilian arse doesn't fit on human toilets.
Jesus christ I hope Ozbargain bans all royal bootlickers like you. The head of a family so vile deserves no respect.
@Landsmith: Unfortunately for God, Jesus came out gay and he got nailed to death. That's what they don't tell you.
@wizko: Despite your comment, Christ died out of love for your sins. If you repent and believe, you will be forgiven and saved.
@Landsmith: I am extreme pleased to know that Mr Jesus died for my sins. Since he's already copped it, imma go ahead and sin around til I'm in my death bed, then I'll express post a letter of repentment to God just before I die.
Look forward to seeing you in heaven!!!
😂😍😇😊❤️😁
@Landsmith: seriously, dude, how does this dying "in advance" for our sins works? and if he did, indeed, die for our "future" sins, why do we still need to repent then? this is batshit crazy
@BeefBiryani: Time is a human phenomenon, and not something the creator of the universe (and indeed time itself) is bound by. He knows all our days before we are even born (this is not a denial of human free will).
@Landsmith: I have to believe this is an intentional troll, no-one is this evangelical on a bargain site.
Huh? It's not like he died. Are we not allowed to make jokes on the internet?
Ha reported to who exactly?
Didn't realise Mark Zuckerberg was taking the throne
King of Saudi Arabia does this. He has his own golden toilet
I'd be very surprised if Charles takes his own toilet seat wherever he goes. I expect someone else does it for him. Along with a lot of other things. I've certainly never seen him carrying it.
Free public transport in the name of a move towards an Australian Republic.
Fun fact: We actually have Assistant Minister for the Republic, a new ministry held by Matt Thistlethwaite.
I'm just upvoting because I'm a fan of free public transport. I don't live in SA, but still, free public transport
SA already has free public transport for seniors. And an interest in royalty is the sort of thing that you'd expect a disproportionate interest in on the part of the old. But isn't it interesting that we oldies are more in favour of a republic, with breaking with British royalty, than the young. To the old, royalty is tradition. To the young its celebrity. I can't imagine too many young people wanting to turn up to a celebration of the accession of an old guy like Charles. Maybe if he was still married to Diana.
From the OP it's free public transport all day, everywhere. You don't need to be going to the event to make use of it
Oh, and when the government gives something to taxpayers "free", all that means is that instead of costing them when they buy/use it, it costs them in their taxes by paying extra or getting less. Instead of coming out of one pocket, it comes out of the other. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Or bus ride.
Weekend transport is cheap anyways, nothing special
Everyone appears to be getting off-topic / off-track. Regardless of what you think of the Queen / her death / the coverage etc, I think it's still a good move by the SA Government to provide free public transport on the day. Makes it easier for people to get to the city if they wish to contribute / be involved, and saves people having to drive in, pay for parking etc (even if you're not attending, it's just a bonus if you need to use it).
^ This. Rational and logical, unlike all other bogan comments.
I can't find where it says there will be free public transport
It's under the drop-down heading "State Proclamation Ceremony"
Must be a lot of Catholics in tonight.
You mean Anglicans?
No, no. In my experience, it’s the Catholics from that neck of the woods generally loathe her.
King of the castle, King of the castle.
I have a chair, do this, do that
Meh
May the Lord Bless Queen Elizabeth the Second. Throughout her long life was a consistently selfless and dutiful leader. Something sorely lacking in today’s world of leaders.
As the now former head of the Anglican Church, she faithfully served The Lord, and I admire her faith in Jesus, as her Lord and Saviour. May she rest peacefully in the loving arms of her maker and redeemer.
Why are you on a mission to get banned with this constant spam after being inactive since 2014? lol
Them boots ain't gonna lick themselves though mate.
I don't understand why people would want another human being to rule over them just because they were born to a specific family.
I think you need to explore the meaning of Constitutional Monarchy.
The Queen reigned but did not rule. There’s a difference.
It’s sad to see sexism rear its ugly head at a time when the world is trying to remember and and celebrate the life of a remarkable woman, leader and beloved family member.
It is sad to see her go.
She lived a long life, and 96 is to be admired.
But apparently, Princess Diana got up to about 150 when she died.
Would you like some water Karen?
Queen haters are almost as cringe as atheists
And I don't even like the monarchy
I listened to a good Freakonomics podcast the other day about the societal benefits of free public transport.
Good luck fellow Queenslanders, new name Albaneselanders or Palachookland
Xiexingping approves of this post, Vladimir the Impaler improves to.
Upvoted for free public transport.
Ah something to do, got half an hour to get into town..
