Is that it, Neferti. Is that the 'legal ramification?' We'd need a 'referendum?' Wot? You are shittin' me, aren't you?

Surely Abbott can just wave his magic wand, and voila........we are a Republic!

Cheesy

For you and the rest of the lazy geniuses here.

Section 62 of the Constitution states the Queen as our head of state; to change the Constitution you must put it to a referendum and it must pass.

So yes there are legal issues and no voila and a magic wand won't cut it in the real world where we adults live.

Jeez, try using friggen google at some point; save everyone's intellegence being insulted by such cretinous remark as yours.

Sorry Aussie. There is absolutely NO POINT in carrying on a conversation with a guy who has had way too many VBs. Talk to you another day. Wink

Oh come on, you are just joshing with me now. Turn it up!

A Referendum! One which must actually pass! Wot! Amazing we can't just go 'Open Sesame,' and a republic is born. I can't believe it. Cheesy

Actually that usually results in one heck of a conversation. And there is NOTHING wrong with having too many VBs.

Nothing at all. I do prefer VB as a beer, so shoot me. But, the silly old twat prefers random personal abuse (to which I respond occasionally) and such rubbish vacuous posts.....so phucking stupid, I weaken and make the mistake of engaging with the idiot......and that's it for 2013.

Which is pretty much my view.
On the list of issues and problems facing the country it really just isn't a priority or necessity.

Not when it is 100% correct. The stupid bint is a silly old twat.

Are the provocative VB references okay Andrei? You have read the stupid bints posts which (all over this Forum) have preceded mine, haven't you? Have a look at its posting record. Surely, I'm allowed a jab back occasionally?
