They’re running a caption competition over there on Catholica. Personally, I think this attempt is fairly good for a start. Anyone got any better suggestions?

The Schütz Model for a Elective Australian Constitutional Monarchy
I propose that
1) We replace the absentee monarch of Australia (who is also the Monarch of Great Britain) with an elected Australian monarchy.
2) The elected monarch exactly replaces the current monarch in the current constition.
3) The elected monarch has exactly the same powers, duties and responsibilities as those of the current absentee monarch. All the monarch's functions are carried out by his/her personal representatives (as is currently the case): federally by the Governor General, and in the states by the State Governors.
4) The Governor General and the Governors continue to be selected as they currently are.
5) The monarch is elected to sovereignty over Australia for life, but his/her sovereignty is strictly non-hereditary.
6) The elective body is not the federal parliament, but a "college of electors" comprised of the state governors and federal governor general.
7) The election of the monarch must be a unanimous decision on the part of the college of electors. -

Julia “translatio imperii??”
Bloke in the middle -” Et tu, Julia?”
Cardinal Pell ” tu autem Domine miserere nobis”
That photo is at such an odd angle for both of them that I can barely recognise either of them. Well, Julia’s hair does give it away, though.
Actually, I quite like Tony’s captions.
Julia: Quo vadis?
Pell: Mia casa
Very clever, Matthias!
I was sort of wondering something along the same lines (I’ll spare you the latin!):
Julia: I heard about your recent disappointment. Want a few tips?
George: Let’s not go there, shall we?
