Any republic born out of todays political climate would be a human catastrophe.

I agree 100% with merit.
Police minister MUST be ex- cop

Defence minister MUST be ex- Armed forces officer

etc,.

Oh what a great formula for the continued corruption taken to a higher level.Please understand that when one is speaking of the Police in Australia ,one is referring to a colonial entity ,that's like 19th century ,in the laws they uphold.

Yes the model is presently The colonial NSW 19th century model.Gee,before Australia as a nation was even thought about! Shocked

That is a bit alarmist. From my observations, I would estimate that the average number of children in Muslim families in Australia would be about 4 or 5 - less than what Catholic families were having until a few decades ago.

Until Australia can create and elevate REAL leaders to positions of authority, becoming a republic would be as effective as shifting the proverbial deck-chairs on the Titanic.

There are two types of leaders - those who lead from in front, and those who lead from behind. Unless Australians understand the first essential act of a true leader, they will never understand why they cannot be found.
