I'm against convict blood being compulsory for the Life President or President of the Month. This includes bank executives , union officials , cricketer cheats, OLO spam and barrier reef wreckers.

Foxy,

"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"

That's not a tangible benefit and, even if it were, most Australians (99.9999%) would never enjoy the benefit.

Belly,

I'm not afraid of your answers, only amused, just answer the question as to how most (even a few) Australians would be better off under a republic.

Is Mise,

Most Australians would certainly enjoy the benefit of
being able to aspire to be the person embodying the
ultimate source of the executive authority in Australia,
instead of having an unelected foreigner forced on them
as their monarch.

Also it would also benefit not to have a foreign country retain
the power to make laws for Australia, and to overturn
laws made by the Australian Parliament.

But I get that you don't have a problem with any of that.
So as I stated earlier - fair enough.

cont'd ...

Is Mise,

The Queen, royal family, knights and dames, have ceased to
have any relevance for the majority of Australians. (remember
Tony Abbott - and the prince Philip fiasco?).

Declaring Australia a republic - the biggest benefit for
the country would be that Australia becomes a nation where
its government formally gets all its power from its people,
not from some ancient royal family in some distant land.
The royals have nothing to do with modern Australia.

It is absurd that the head of state is chosen by hereditary
right (a lottery) and even more absurd that the head of
state isn't even native nor resides in the country of which they
are head.

All power in Australia should be in the hands of elected
Australians who are answerable to the laws of the nation
and the people of the country. Power should be in the
hands of those who wield it as a service to the people and
those in power should never think that the people are in
service to them. (The Queen may disallow any law).

It has been said that the UK abandoned Australia in WW2 when
the Japanese invaded PNG. Will the UK do the same to
Australia in the 21st Century?

If Australia is happy to have a monarchy without the
monarch actually being here at all, it makes sense they'd be
happy without a monarchy. I doubt they'd miss her much.

The benefit of republic is aspiration to be top gun which applies from the moment a baby's eyes are opened. Industries include supplying President's security guards with Pacifico Optical dark glasses , of Bondi Beach.
Metal Storm Limited did research and development in Brisbane in electronically initiated superposed load weapons which China wants but didn't get from a proud Australia who was on his knees financially but will die for his president.
Holden's design corporation will handle convoy vehicles , welding mining truck engines onto armoured hearses.
Aerial security comes under the Space Agency CCTV drones with Tasmanian oak and Jarrah inlays. Communication won't be in Queens' English but west Sydney Vietnamese-German as a colonial benefit.

Ise Mise, are you getting enough sleep? must be hard trying to amuse and only failing, you know, as I do, this subject is now on the national agenda, if two thirds vote yes.
You will still claim it has no benefits
And yes like the two kids in a school yard you deny seeing any reason from me on why it would be better.
Verbal tennis still needs some strings in the racket, yours may be ten feet around but you can not even life it.
