Banjo! I offer this *the ALP, Mr Bill Shorten, has promised in his first term*
TO HOLD A REFERENDUM ON SHOULD WE BECOME A REPUBLIC.
So we will be talking about it even more, in real life.
Banjo we do not agree much, yet I have nothing against you, but consider this.
Are we restrict ourselves to popular subjects? if so who says they are indeed popular?
Would it be good for the site if new comers stayed or left thinking all we do is abuse each other?
Over the years I have tried to contribute to every thread, not able now to do that in threads by one poster, we all should be free to comment, as you have, about a thread being, not one we like, but please do not tell me not to post it.

Banjo OK with that? your demand I not post? my showing you it is a subject the whole country will be talking about.
PLEASE set out YOUR rules for what can and can not become a thread

The rebuttal of a republic was very certain at the referendum. Perhaps the would-be wreckers of our perfectly good system might think that the mass immigration they so much love might change the vote when enough immigrants are granted citizenship and the right to vote.

But, you wreckers, how many immigrants have fled from countries with monarchies?

Trumps' republicans did , and the Irish . Parliament did when Charles ( the other one) lost his head. Yemen wants to escape but the Saudi king is bombing them.

Belly,

"But why do we need to pay for another trip here by chinless wonders who, as Philip, Abbotts dream boat Knight, often puts us down"

Who are the chinless wonders, one wonders?

We're all ears for Belly. Let's hear a reasoned explanation from you old son about the benefits and necessity for an Oz wizard. Also the disadvantages of course that's fair.
