The Long Goodbye
I'm not a staunch Monarchist, but neither am I a Republican. Sit on the fence, that sums me up.

First, there were the comments of staunchly monarchist Prime Minister John Howard.
Australian Prime Minister John Howard is a staunch royalist
In a BBC interview, he said: "I don't believe Australia will become a republic while the Queen is on the throne. Beyond that, I don't know".
I like that bit - it was described as an ITV exclusive on last nights news
