Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I'll happily take moistened bints lobbing scimitars at people over Dennis and his anarcho-syndicalist commune.

I definitely say NO!
I am a monarchist.
Yeah, I know.
A WOG Monarchist?
The main reason is, this country, like all the other Commonwealth countries, were 'acquired' by the then rulers of England.
Australia actually 'belongs to The Queen.
Now it will be nigh-on impossible for some of you to understand this.
But I, and millions of others who have worked and saved money and bought property and assets and in doing so set ourselves up, so that we never have to take other people's money, will understand what I'm saying.
So you can see how people who have achieved self reliance, get pissed off when some twat suggests we pay billions to a group of 'transients' who have no problem in stealing money from the rest of us by pushing one of the biggest con jobs in Australian history.
Australia does NOT belong to the abo's.
Never did.
They are 'ITINERANTS'.
Google the meaning.
So enough of this crap about their traditional lands, blah, blah.
We all know who they are and where they came from.
Just because they happened to be here when Australia was 'taken over', means squat in the topic of ownership.
The abo's didn't OWN anything before the poms came.
They were just passing through.
They only ended up staying because any attempt to go any further was impossible, because they ran out of land.
Tasmania.
So began the walk-about stories, or as I see it, 'the walk about in circles'.
Now a Republic is only going to give the thieves in Canberra and their mates the keys to the safe.
If you think we are being gouged now, just wait till we become a Republic.
Be grateful that we have 'Mummy' to run to when the scum in Canberra get too far out of line.
Remember Whitlam the scumbag?
So before you Republicans go any further, stop and think, we will have NO protections in place when the thieves decide to have a free-for-all with your money and your families future.

//Be grateful that we have 'Mummy' to run to when the scum in Canberra get too far out of line.//

Actually, you don't. Not since the Australia Act 1986, which blocked appeals to the Privy Council.

Nothing can save the Governor general who is personally responsible for sacking Whitlam , Rudd , Gillard , Abbott , Turnbull , Guthrie and Milne and sand papered the ball.

Is today's richest country suffering because they are a Republic?
America is in deep trouble but not because it wanted to be its own country.
Will Brexit take place? still some doubt, if England stays are we then ruled by the EU? are we a state of that place.
NO but this much is true the case put here against becoming a republic is just as silly.
Also right now those Australians, as seen in online polling, who support leaving are a majority, but not enough to get it up.
I am reminded of the case against day light saving in our deep north, it fades the curtains, the cows are confused, the days are too long the extra sun drys things out.
