I've just thought of another benefit in becoming
a republic:

The barmy army would not longer be able to sing -
"God save YOUR gracious Queen."

Indy,

One benefit of a Republic, get rid of Old Farts and blow ins like you who for years have been sucking on the AUSTRALIAN public teat. Wherever you came from should be supporting you, not Australians. Get you on Seniors National Service. The likes of you have put nothing into this country, just take take take.

All benefits so far are nebulous; keep trying.

The first thing for the new republic, cut out Old Aged Welfare. save $25 billion of us poor taxpayers money. Start a Seniors National Service. Indy; Remember the motto; "Work Makes You Free"

So far none of the Republic fanciers have explained why they think, or don’t think, that Hawaii is a British colony.

With persons like Paul who has total disrespect of the aged, his agenda would be slavery for all including child labour worse than the CCP. He has no ideas on setting up a civil society. Others want a direct Democrasy where the people vote on every bill brought to the house. With the systems proposed there is no checks on values.
