ttbn just explained things for everyone to understand, except of course Lefties who refuse to understand because it's against their agenda to ruin this nation.

Every time I switch on the radio lately I hear that cock-sparrow, Christopher Pyne, chirping that we WILL be a republic when the Queen dies. In the blog Club Troppo on 29/5, a Ken Parish writes that: “ever since the failure of the 1999 Republic Referendum has effectively if tacitly been that there is no point in another referendum while the current Queen remains on the throne”.

Where does this crap come from? Who presumes to know what 15.7 million eligible voters in Australia will do when they are assaulted with another referendum? Certainly, Pyne doesn't have the mental capacity to start a rumour. Ken Parish just reports. But, the sentiment, or hope, is rife among people with nothing better to think about.

It does not matter who is on the throne. Queen Elizabeth is respected, even loved; Charles is thought of as a bit of a dill. But, there is nothing he can do that would affect the institution. That's what the republic-yearning muppets don't understand: the monarchy is not about individual people or power - it's a ceremonial, historical institution that is part of our heritage. The only thing a republic would do for Australia is further wreck that heritage and give us another d--k head politician who definitely would be into the power game.

The way things are economically at present, wouldn't the many millions of Dollars it'll cost for turning Republic, be more wisely spent on important things ?
Will being a Republic provide this nation somehow with politicians of substance & integrity ?
Would a President for example kick People like Rudd out of office long before they run the country down to an unrecoverable level ?
Something tells me that becoming a Republic we'd get the cream of incompetent idealists rather than people who know.
If a Republic will make this Nation better then yes, why not become a Republic.
No good saying we want to be a republic if no-one has a clue how to run it.

Here's a link that explains things so well.
In my opinion:

http://www.spectator.com.au/2018/01/whats-to-gain-from-an-australian-republic/

And these are the reasons why people need to seriously think
before suggesting - becoming a Republic.
