Australia to become a republic?
It looks like republicans will take strong positions in both government and the opposition.
labor has said they will revisit the republican issue. If you were in Oz during the last referendum on the republic you will know that polls all said the vast majority of Australians want a republic.... but they also wanted a model that allowed the people to choose the president. John Howard.. the strong monarchist... only offered the option that allowed the politicians to choose the president... people hated this so the referendum was defeated. Labor has promised plebicites so that the people can at first decide what sort of model they want.... and then he will bring that model to a referendum. I think that flowing that path Australia will become a republic.... Bring on the republic i say... can't wait. Do you want Oz to become a republic? |

Damn good idea. I think the Monarchy should have been dumped years ago - both here and in the UK

Yes. Can't really understand why it has not happened before. It is just a question of time now.

When we get independence do you think the UK will give us billions in aid like they have to the African countries?
