2011 MODEL for AN AUSTRALIAN REPUBLIC

Elect a President >>> Retain the Governor General

The President replaces the Queen in the Constitution.

The Governor General carries out the same day-to-day Constitutional duties as they do today, authorising appointments, regulations and acts of parliament.

But, the Governor General ceases all ceremonial duties, ceases to be Commander-in-chief, ceases to meet Ambassadors and Heads of State.

The President like the Queen, can only appoint or dismiss the Governor General upon the strict advice of the Prime Minister.

The present relationship between a Prime Minister and the Governor General are maintained, a Prime Minister would still be required to drive to Yarralumla to call an election.

The President could not directly remove a Prime Minister, but a Prime Minister with control of both Houses could remove a President.

This Model should put an end to arguments about a conflict between an appointed Prime Minister and an elected President.

any new model cannot be done
but what we can do is sepperate the powers
the reason why i put here

freespeach does compensate
for the lack..of an actual political choice..[re voting]

when i voted..i voted blindly..mostly for people i have never met
on a short blurb they put in the local paper..or the party

but as both parties develop the same loyalties to bid money
and advised by the same corrupted public service..
who we dont get to pick...

who tell govt whats what..usually via lying to them..
or restrixcting their info..[see latest post here]

where im now convinced obama's witness of osama's look alikes exicution...was photo shopped..in live time..[think michael jorden playing with himself]

as was done to george busche before him
[he was so certain..it seems the way security agencies get them onside]

in short i feel we need to sepperate powers
pm's presidents..gov generals..should oversee
not make decisions..guided by a skeptical privey council..[thats why they arnt in the constitution]

anyhow i need the wisdom of posters
need to hear the contrasting facts

i know there was a murdering scccccum bag in russia by his works
wether it was lenin..or marx...isnt as important as knowing..
whoever done it..was advised*..to do it

[and they
*never get held to account]

its THEM..that is the only real and present danger
only by removing their acces to the true powers

[and armed forces/police/judges]
....can things ever..*hope to change

anyhow im not concerned with the acts of men
im more intrested in knowing..and making known..the only truth
[the love grace mercy...GOOD of god]

that im forced to reveal
the insanity of our leaders advisers
is the only way i can see..to end their GENOCIDING

the human race..
that god for some reason loves
well...im only..trying to serve him

it would be so much easier to hate
but my god is loveing..man
what-else to do?

I'll admit it. I watched it, and thoroughly enjoyed it. As for Princess William, well, it's little things like that which give a nation some character. I've always been amused by Princess Michael, who seems quite fine with her name.

I'm also on the side of those who are waiting to hear how a republican model will be directly beneficial to the Australian people. In particular, I'm concerned about a popularly elected president, largely because - even with the best intentions - we would inevitably turn it into the self-promotional media circus that the filthy rich presidential candidates of the USA enjoy every few years.

If a republic came in the form of a simple amendment whereby the Governor-General was no longer a representative of the monarchy but carried out exactly the same roles under the same conditions, I'd probably vote for it. It would be labelled a 'Clayton's Republic', but at least it would be business as usual. The problem with our nation's political system isn't (in my opinion) the system itself, but rather the people populating it. Our system has worked well in the past, and will work well in the future, if we become a bit more discerning in our choices of leaders. Maybe it would help if people with greater integrity and ability offered their services. Until then, republic or otherwise, we'll still have opportunities to moan about our pollies while remaining a successful nation.

When people say mean spirited, personal things against the Royal Family, including name calling, it usually says a whole lot more about the people making the comments than the Royal Family itself.

Such a terrible history of child abuse in Australia.

But this warms (a little) the cockles of my heart:

" ... Lawyers seek to free children in detention

It is thought the children were working as crew on either people-smuggling or illegal fishing boats.

Northern Territory lawyers have used a rare legal measure in a bid to free 13 Indonesian children in immigration detention. ... "

Still, I must admit that I was superficially pleased at Harry's apparent abject disgust that the lion's share of charity funds was not ending up with the intended beneficiaries, and also by another effort in concert with William alerting us to the fact that his *Brothers in Arms* were getting blowing up by Chinese munitions.

However ... I think it was a good idea when someone suggested a 1 question referendum first to remove the race power from the Constitution and another to make the Guvna General the new Australian Head of State of Australia.

That would get the ball rolling nicely.
