Belly,

Getting desperate?

"Ise Mise you have had your answers andin truth have me concerned are you ok?
do you read others posts
[yes]

pride in country.
[we already have it, are you not proud of your country?]

End forever colonial links,
[the colonial links are there and will remain forever]

stop pommys complaining
[that's no benefit, and impossible anyway]

Australian head of state
[that's a benefit??]

return England,s insult when it joined the EU
[no benefit there either, just a bit of supposed revenge]

join the republican nations around the world in saying we are our own country
[now that' really going to benefit the ordinary Australian]

Stop Royal lovers telling us we must share their views
[that's no benefit either]
anyhow which of the Royal lovers have been guilty?
Prince Harry perhaps?

What could be a small benefit, though to only a few Australians would be if you noticed that the possessive sign (') goes up the top and not down the bottom (.).

What are the tangible benefits, like less tax, better roads, better hospitals, more medical services in the country, increased Old Age Pension, more money for education etc.?

Witanegemot. Port Elliot is a town in South Australia toward the eastern end of the south coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula ... The location had been previously known as Freeman's Knob; the aboriginal name for the area may have been "Witengangool".

Is Mise,

One of the tangible benefits of becoming a Republic
is that it would mean that any Australian could
aspire to be the person embodying the ultimate
source of executive authority in Australia. It would
signal to the world that we are wholly independent both
in appearance and in fact, because we would no longer have
a foreigner as our monarch.

Also under our colonial Constitution, Britain retained the
power to make laws for Australia and it has the power to
overturn Australians laws made by the Australian Parliament.
Surely changing that would be a benefit for us all if we want to
be an independent nation.

Anyway, as has been stated on this discussion many times -
the decision is up to Australians to make. It's subjective.
If you see no benefits as to what's as to what's being placed in front of you - fair enough.

However, many do see the benefits -
and ultimately it will be up to people to make their
final choice. Regarding - education, health-care -
and other issues - those will be decisions that our
elected Parliament will make. Future decisions
will no longer have to be referenced to any other authority.
And that fact alone - many see as a tangible benefit.

Not when they're old and wrinkly anyway it's voyeurism.

Ise Mise drop the Royal lovers/toe suckers, the list is long and you do not want to go there.
Now Harry, top bloke! by far the best of them! seen the pictures of his DAD sorry one of mums boyfriends?
Out standing! seems he may have not a drop of the Royal blood decades indeed centuries of inbreeding gave them.
Well mum would have given him some.
Inbreeding, remember?
Enjoy finding heaps to be insulted by in this post ask me no question if you do not want to see my answers
