We've all heard the pros and cons of the Republic debate.
That the head of our country (our head of state) is
currently the British Queen. That the head of our
country should live here and be proud to be Australian.
That anyone who holds public office in Australia should be
an Australian citizen with loyalty and allegiance first
and foremost to Australia.

That it's wrong that an Australian can't be head of Australia
and that we have no say in who is. That Australia should be
fully independent and not subject to a foreign monarch.

Well on the other side of the coin - we know that the Queen
is Queen of Australia. That she does not interfere in our
affairs. That she listens to and goes by the advice of our
own PM. And that this constitutional monarchy has worked
well for us for decades. And that changing things could be
a disaster.

I also feel that things won't change until after the
Queen dies. Most people have other priorities on their
plate at the moment. And most don't want things to change.

But I could be wrong.

One thing is for sure - before making any changes - we need to
ensure that what we shall put in place will be better than
what we have currently. Otherwise - why do it?

Yes we should be a republic like say Democratic Republic of Congo, if we are totally stupid. Now there is a republic we could emulate, if we are stupid enough to think that the banner "REPUBLIC" has some meaning.

Changing a constitution is bound to have any number of unforeseen consequences, all of them bad.

Sorry Foxy, but only a fool starts this gumph about head of state being a local. That sort of argument is only to fool the stupid into going along with the crazy. We have the safest form of government & the only possible reason to change is to allow someone like Turnbull, Albanese or god forbid, Penny Wong to fulfill ther dreams of grandeur.

No Thanks.

People just don't think ! Just take a look at all the Republics around the place & see how they're functioning & then tell us you still want a Republic !

The PM's in trouble politically and becoming a republic is well known as a distraction issue. So it may well be the time, but it won't save him.

Just a few off the top. But, not satisfied, a Leftist troll wants a "conversation" about a republic. Bloody hell!

We are an independent nation but we share a monarchy
with the United Kingdom and many other countries.
The Queen's powers are delegated to the Governor
General by the Constitution.

But by convention the Governor General can act only on
the advice of the elected government. Except of course
the elected government and Prime Minister were deposed
by the Governor General (Kerr) in the case of Gough Whitlam.
