" … believing you have something to offer…" triggers questions. What do these people hell bent on republic think they have offer? What are their qualifications? What experience have they had?

It is very difficult to replace a system that is not too bad with something else, without making a hell of a lot of mistakes, and making things worse.

The republican wannabes don't even know what sort of republic they want. They want to ask a trick question based on the lie that an Australian is not a head of state, and bungle their way ahead from there.

No thanks.

I have yet to see one of Charles’s detractors who possesses even half of his abilities.

Prince Charles's role as the Heir to the Throne has been:

To undertake official Royal duties in support of
Her Majesty the Queen on behalf of Her Majesty's
Government.

To work as a charitable entrepreneur by supporting
charitable and civil causes which promote positive
social and environmental outcomes.

To promote and protect national traditions, virtues
and excellence.

And with this last one in mind as Princess Diana's
biographer Andrew Morton pointed out - that is something
Prince Charles took very very much to heart:

"Do you seriously expect me to be the first Prince of Wales
not to have a mistress?

The Australian people will decide for themselves
Foxy,
You'll need to be a tad more specific there. By Australian people do you mean those people who have the future of this Nation at heart or those who reside here & want to overthrow the British heritage of Australia & rule it by stupidity, hatred & general division !

Individual,

The real beauty of this country lies not in its
trees, seas, or cassowaries, but in the greatest
resource that any country can have: its people.

The story of Australia is the story of the Australian
people. And Australians come in all shapes and sizes,
and from all backgrounds. From the city, from the
country. They come from every state and often from
different countries - driven to become Australian.

The Australians that I know have contributed in so
many ways to this country. They have become titans of
business, legends of sport, giants of science,
colossi of philanthropy, and pygmies of politics (joke).

Australians have led the world in a myriad ways, and
whether generating wealth, inspiring youth, opening up the
vistas of human potential, saving lives, they have done
it all in a peculiarly Australian way, with a swagger
and style that marks a person out as an inhabitant of
the scientifically determined greatest country on earth.

Those are the Australian I'm talking about.

Those are the people I am talking about.
