You must be hard of understanding because I have just explained in the post above why what you are saying would not have the effect of cutting the strings.

Nor have you given any reason for it, nor addressed the reasons against it that have been given so much in this and other threads.

The same people who are urging for a republic on the ground of nationality, are the ones saying that anyone from any nationality should be eligible for any position in Australia. You only reserve your prejudice and nationalism for our own traditions and culture, and the one that gave rise to the entire edifice of modern and government including constitutional, civil and human rights, yet when asked why, you ignore the question or give reasons that don't make sense.

That's why you republicans keep losing the argument over and over again.

Hi Cumberland,

I think I've explained my position very clearly on the
discussion that I've raised on this forum - "If not
now, when?" I don't want to continue to re-hash the
arguments again with you because it would be pointless.

I firmly believe in telling the true story of a nation's
history, and I do fully support the Uluru Statement From
The Heart. What is being asked I think is quite reasonable.

As for whether Australia becomes a republic or not. As I've
repeated time and time again - that is a decision for the
Australian people to make. I would like to be led by an
elected representative and have this person hold Australia's
executive authority. I would like a system of government
that allowed for the exercise of authority to be on
Australian soil, instead of the power being wielded by a
British monarch.

We have the option to retain the Westminster System of
Parliament with a PM elected by a public majority.

Still that is only my opinion. It will be up to the people
of this country to make the final decision as to what they
want.

As for having an Australian on our $5 note?

My suggestion was Fred Hollows.

The $5 not is the only Australian note that does not have
an Australian on it. It would be great to see a "Fiver for
Fred," happen.

I don't scrutinise money: I just spend it.
Whose 'head' is on the money is of no consequence.
If we must have something there, toss a coin to decide?

Hi IF,

We could toss a coin for the monarchy as well?

And for the funding of Aboriginal racial exceptionalist propaganda, and another for the ABC, another for the brainwashing of the population during their formative years, another for feminist law and policy...

And, like the republicans, just keep repeating when we don't get an answer we want?
