I’m off pig hunting for the next two weeks, do read the Constitution and learn.

To make it a fair fight the pigs should have guns as well. I don't approve, but take care anyway.

I can just recall the old grandfather and uncle going pig shooting. They were known to bring home little ones they called, "squalliers", fatten them up in a pen for the table. Don't know how they caught them, but they did. Does anyone do that today?

Is Mise,

You obviously have not read Section 44 of our Constitution
which is an anachronism that states our Members of
Parliament cannot sit in Parliament if they give allegiance
to a foreign entity.

We've recently had that fiasco where
many of our MPs had to resign their positions because it was
found that they had dual citizenship either by birth or
ancestry.

Yet they
are required to give an Oath of Allegiance to a British
ruler. Not an Australian - no matter what title you give
her. She is still a British Queen. That is very relevant and
that part of our Constitution ( as well as
many other parts) needs to be amended.

Anyway, I'm done in arguing with you

Is Mise,

You really should read these three links:

I'm going to repeat what I wrote earlier.
If we become a republic we could create
a modern set of legislation that makes the power
of the Head of State explicit and clear and
provides checks and balances in case their power
was abused. We could make sure a Head of State
was answerable to the people in every way.

There is literally no advantage in having a monarch
other than as I said before "tradition." The only
positive a monarch brings to Australian society is
the concept of tradition.

Denying women a vote was traditional as well, imprisoning
homosexuals was tradition. Executing people was traditional.
Not recognizing the Indigenous community as citizens was
traditional. Tradition has never prevented us from kaing
positive changes.

It shouldn't now.

I think Foxy is working for a foreign power. Paraphrasing Marx- if you want to destroy a people destroy their traditions. Do you feel yourself becoming more powerless?
