Labor will use every bureaucratic weapon in the government’s arsenal to propagandise a republic, demonise traditional values and to lay the groundwork for entrenching left-wing power into the Constitution. Part of which will be the elevation of the so-called ‘first nations’ – a purely ideological concept lifted holus-bolus from the Canadian and American Left – in order to create further cultural divisions within our country, our legal systems and our individual rights based on the principle that we ‘non-indigenous’ are all living on ‘stolen land’.

Foxy,
You make an erroneous assumption in your first sentence, I was born in the reign of George V, lived through the reign of GeorgeVI, I was in my late teens when Elizabeth II. ascended the throne and there are thousands of Australians still living who were born in her fathers reign.

Your second is wrong also, the monarchy of Great Britain is not infinitely old, it dates from the cessation of the republican Commonwealth and the Restoration in 1660.
Hardly infinite.

Matt, the Thistle in Waiting, is already pushing a republic.

Do you not think that the homeless of Australia should be helped, and the problem of homelessness solved before any more money is spent chasing republicanism?

The period of republican rule for England was a failure. During the period no stable government was established to rule the English state for longer than a few months at a time.

Yet, there is a republican movement in the UK - people determined to repeat history that they didn’t learn about. The Restoration didn’t occur for no good reason, and the Monarch had a lot more power than any Monarch has these days.

Even with the idiot , Charles, there is no excuse for a republic, particularly in Australia, where we are only very  occasionally called upon to cough up for a royal visit.

Is Mise,

Thank You. You are so good to point out our serious
problems - the lack of our national defence capability,
our electricity generating problem, our housing problem,
the homeless problem, the condition of our roads, water
rights, etc, etc.

I am truly impressed by the fact that despite all these
problems in the 21st century you still have time to focus
on the sharp increase in the number of "WORD CRIMES."

These crimes are committed by criminals who ruthlessly
murder the English language by making stupid grammatical
errors on a daily basis.

In such a situation of hopelessness, brave warriors such
as yourself who go by the name of "Grammar Nazis" have come to
our rescue. Usually the catch-Grammar Nazis annoy the living
crap out of everyone. But in your case on this forum. We are
all extremely grateful for you to see us through these
dark times.

Is Mise,
