ALP or NLP...
...the 'position' of the Prime Minister will always SERVE the United States of America.
Just like the Governor-General serves the United Kingdom.
And let's face it. These days, the UK serves the USA anyway.

So what then, is it of Australian 'Politics'...
...that serves Australia?
Is it 'the People'?
What 'people'?
Where are these ...People?
A paltry population of Monarchists and Pro-Americans
who want a 'President' as a Head of State.

Yes - tell me.
Where are these 'People' who will take ...the Power in the name of a Re-PUBLIC?

Go on Australia.
Step out of that door from under the roof of the UK
and discover that the door of the USA will close upon you as well.
Where will you be then?
What 'Politics' will you have to show for yourselves?
Do you honestly think that making a Republic is just a matter of changing words on pieces of ...paper?
The CONSEQUENCES of a Republic is something you should all consider carefully. Very carefully.
So before you become Anti-Monarchist and seek a Republic, because you are Pro-American for a President as a Head of State.
Like a rebellious teenage who storms out of home from his Parent's rules, only to seek refuge at his Uncle's - as if that is the answer.
Consider this.
Maybe, just maybe - the future of Australia IS NOT...
...Politics.
If you become a Republic.
YOU WILL ALL LOSE EVERYTHING!
...but you will all at least gain your 'Freedom' finally.
Political 'poverty' and Freedom?
Or a nice cushy nation with benefits ...but in chains still?
You renounce the Monarchy (UK) and the American representative ...the Unions, will take the money ...like Thieves.
My personal advice is this.
The UK may have treated you 'Convicts' harshly in 'the Past'.
But that was then.
This is now.
And that 'chain' that shackles you to the UK, may 'now' be the only saving grace you have....when the (Yankee) Unionism comes to 'take the money' for their 'President as a Head of - the States'.Best of luck...
...in the Lucky Country.
