Should Australia be a Republic? (2 Viewers)

[Iron]

Who said that the aim of the Republic was to increase Oz power?

 

[_dhj_]

If not power then prestige.

What else...?

For those who say why change somehting thats already working...already working my ass... go back to the queen, it is the end of imperalism...hahahaha ....

We can become the new imperial overlords of the south pacific

 

[sam04u]

Sure it was justified by theories of racial superiority, but we can overlook that for a moment, surely

Nice troll post.

I don't think White Conservatives will ever want to wave goodbye to their motherland.

This attachment to the old empire may disappear within a generation or two.

Perhaps once England becomes Muslim this country will say screw it.

its just one step closer to a secular state, here come the moslems

 

[russs]

If it ain't broke don't fix it?

Republic or not I want a new anthem. Advance Australia Fair is awful and it just drones on.

I don't think Australia should be a republic.

Re: Should Australia be a Republic.

Yes, probably number four. (Really, I'm not too fussed about how it'd work, as long as we're a republic.)

Yeah I'm not too fussed either. I don't care if we have a dysfunctional constitution or not... I don't care if we become a Weimar-like republic... (Yes. I am being sarcastic.)

OFCOUSE WE SHOULD BE REPUBLIC!
Few facts:
LONDON to PERTH 8983 MI/14457 KM

When UK decides to go war, Australia was EXPECTED to join and as a result
61,508 Died in World War 1

Australia suffered huge casualties at Anzac Cove because of the misleading information of the British.

Some might say that Britain is our mother country but thats more then 200 years ago! Australia is now a multiculture country.

Why should we let someone else control us? Why should we let our GREAT country men die for someone else? AND WHY should we let someone so far away take control of us??

Thus i believe that Australia should stand on its ground and become a Democratic republic. Democratic Republic of Australia... What an awesome name

EDIT: vietnam war info taken out due to it is non relevent, sorry
Word "FORCE" have been changed to EXPECTED sorry once again

Okay, im not sure what vietnam is gotta do with this....

We werent forced? We were EXPECTED to help....

And at gallipoli....

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]About 480,000 Allied troops took part in the Gallipoli campaign. The British had 205,000 casualties (43,000 killed). There were more than 33,600 ANZAC losses (over one-third killed) and 47,000 French casualties (5,000 killed). Turkish casualties are estimated at 250,000 (65,000 killed).

Sure! British lost more man then us, BUT considering the percentage, we lost more % of soldier then them, they have alot more men then us going into the war! And from all these.. we were all under the command of British.

Well, britain doesnt have much control over us BUT, we still have that union jack flag in the corner of our flag ... And we have a governor general who REPRESENTS the queen!
