Dear Banjo,

While the world (not limited to planet Earth) has a purpose, it is not a goal/end unto itself: it is the means by which we shed our ignorance.

This is why I stated earlier that the world has no problem. It is perfect as it is.

A silly official in the education-department might complain "why is this school teaching such silly kiddy stuff, why has it not advanced? why has it failed to grow into a university?", but of course, had it turned into a university it would completely fail the little ones who enter its gates!

Banjo they might know how to create great Art, but do they know how good Government in all its departments works?

You said "What could be more fitting than for a venerable dynasty of the Western Aranda people in the heart of Australia to assume the prestigious role as head of state of the UK?

The messiness of the federation, which has been on full display over the last two (Covid) years, should attract the reform energy of republicans rather than the cosmetic and excessive desire to select an Australian president.

In this proposed Republic who would be the Commander inn Chief of the Defence Forces?
Has the ARM made a proposition; have they even thought about it?

We have to know what the questions would be if there was another referendum, which won't occur just because Pirate Pete thinks it should. Referenda are expensive, and there is too much of our money being thrown around already.

There is no point in putting up proposals for a type of republic before people are asked if they want a republic of any sort. At the moment, there is no indication that people want a republic any more than they did last time they voted on it. There would need to be an initial referendum with the simple question: do you want a republic? If the answer is yes, that’s the time to present options, not before. Remember! This ARM mob is the sort that manipulates language to deceive.

Hi Issy, if the Chief spends too much time in the INN he might not be fit to command.

Did you see that little car being rolled by the elephant in Africa. Reports are, your mates the Two Bob's were on board. Fat Bob was driving, and Elephant Bob was in the back seat with his boozucka hanging out the window, most painful.

Can you provide an update. Me thinks the elephant had a message for those in little cars with their boozucka's hanging out the windows.
