"You are doing the best you can"

Indeed I am, Belly, and like you, I can't think of one benefit that being a republic would bring.

As an avowed Irish Republican, I still can't see one benefit for Australia becoming one, nor any good reasons.

It's not whether the monarch is Australian, but Australia is monarch's with 's. not `s ^s #s
It's like you book into a motel , evict the manager and his kids and ask what's the problem , there's more guests than managers. And you can't say it proper , it's "horstrailia". Yanks are worse , arstralia.

//As an avowed Irish Republican, I still can't see one benefit for Australia becoming one, nor any good reasons.//

I do note, however, that you have been strenuously avoiding my questions about the benefits of a British monarch over an Australian monarch.

What's wrong, can't you think of any? Just one meaningful benefit will do. Or even a good reason. Please note that 'tradition', in isolation, isn't a good reason. Never has been. Traditions are only worth hanging onto if they hold some other value in addition to tradition.

//Toni, we can't just choose a Monarch.//

Why not? The Anglo-Saxons did exactly that for hundreds of years before the Normans invaded. Why should we prefer the French model of succession over the original Anglo-Saxon model?

//You can 'elect' a President and a Prime Minister, not a Monarch.//

Yeah, try telling that to King (emphasis on 'King') Athelstan.
