Whistler what has stopped Australian’s voting this in?

There must be a ton of Australian stuff linked to the commonwealth that would make the country unstable during the process and people don’t like putting in that kind of work if given a choice?
That’s my guess about why it hasn’t happened already. I am also guessing it isn’t loyalty to the Queen.

Would it be an easy process if voted in?

You know what, something huge like that could really unite a country, and immigrants being part of a new country would really feel they belong; obviously another guess of mine, I seem full of them tonight. And here is me that hardly gets past the mailbox (the real one) for weeks on end and is yet to get to know a single Australian well.

Cornflower... it isn't those who have acted disgracefully, it is just those who have been caught acting disgracefully.

The Pied Piper,
an equal rights Republic of Australia will be trialed
when the Parliament hosts a Constitutional Convention
comprising a Women's Caucus in the Senate
and a Men's Caucus in the House of Representatives.

Cornflower, other groups indulging in bad behaviour does NOT mitigate the bad behaviour of Thugby League players. You probably wish that it did, but it DOES NOT.

Because someone highlights the bad behaviour of one group, does NOT mean one is under any obligation whatsoever to highlight the bad behaviour of all other sectors or society.

The subject of "this" topic is the alleged NRL conspiracy theory. Therefore it's appropriate to talk about things "NRL". And player bad behaviour, often fueled by alcohol, is a central part of traditional off field NRL culture.

TPP: “Seeker already said something about parents being in control, I wish we were.”

I said no such thing.

TPP: “So they are naughty and no I don’t blame mums and dads. I’m still undecided about the feminists but it might take a group to settle another group down; if there was a plot it may even be a good plot.”

It’s a little ironic that the group that has created the problem in the first instance (all but eliminated parental authority of fathers), can now be so confidently relied on to fix the problem of their own creation.

Master: “Cornflower, other groups indulging in bad behaviour does NOT mitigate the bad behaviour of Thugby League players. You probably wish that it did, but it DOES NOT.”

No it does not. But neither does it mean that NRL players should be held up to a higher standard than the rest of the community. Does it?

They are entertainers, so why could they not be compared to other entertainers as Cornflower has done? They have public personas just as politicians do. So why would the behaviour of politicians not count? No dunk misbehaviour or sober thuggery on or off the field in politics? Pahhhlease! Plus on top of all that, they are members of the public and as such are just as human and prone to any of the behavioural/mental disorders the rest of us routinely suffer.

Master, where have you been all this time? You should get out more. I’m sure that when they’re 81 they’ll be lovely old gentlemen that we all expect them to be.

Seeker, you're simply in need of remedial English comprehension lessons. There's adult literacy classes available; please take advantage of the opportunity.

Now to address the rubbish you just wrote:

1) Where has it been written here by me that Thugby League players should be held up to a higher standard than the rest of the community? That's right Seeker, I DID NOT say that at all, and I vehemently DON'T believe that! But you'd like to "PRETEND" that I did. Why? Because making up things that you attribute to others helps your argument, or so you believe.

2)You ask, "why could they not be compared to others?". Well seeker, they CAN be compared to others if someone wishes, and NOBODY has said otherwise. What I said was, neither I, nor anyone else, is under any "obligation" to compare Thugby League players to other sectors of society. Seeker, remember what I said about those English comprehension lessons? Believe me, that'll help you a lot.

3) Where did I say, or imply, the behaviour of politicians doesn't count? Of course, I DIDN'T say that. But you "pretending", or implying that I did, makes it easier for you to present your point of view.

Better luck next time Seeker. Tell you what, I'll even pay for the remedial lessons!

I see what you mean Master - I spelt drunk as dunk. Off to re-education for me, I’m as bad as those NRL boys.
