Im not making this personal but im sorry if you came to Australia then you just dont have heritage.

I mean how can you possibly have a loyalty to a system and tradition when you dont even have a single parent or grandparent from our country?

Its just impossible.

Look at the demographics of say the Asian parts of Melbourne and see the polling on republic there.
Then compare to say my wifes hometown of Townsville with huge percentage as 4th generation Aussies and look how they feel.

The stats back up my argument.

New Australians want to change what they dont appreciate.

So as a 6th generation Australian with an Asian wife.... she will never be a true aussie like you Andrei ... that doesnt even live here?

I didnt say that.
But if she was born in Asia then my opinion is she shouldnt be allowed to vote on a referendum no.

But again its not about personal here. Its a blanket view.

My youngest daughter is born in Canada, she shouldn't either when she is 18 despite the fact she is an Australian citizen.

ANDRIE WHAT is the TOPIC of this thread???

Get your racists comments into a thread of your own where you can be treated with the contempt you deserve.

In the meantime .... STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A republic is one great big waste of time and should not be voted on by people not born in Australia. I shall not sway from that view.

I don't think people who aren't on the electoral roll and who don't permanently live in Australia for the past 2 or more years should not vote or comment on this issue.

But that isn't personal.

Seems very odd, but I don't see how it stops you from answering why we ought to be loyal to the queen?

Plenty of racist views Andrei .... you are full of them .... i guess its YOUR heritage.

You are allowed opinion, but dont pretend your opinions are fact... and please dont hijack a thread to an entirely different topic. As a MOD - you are a FAIL!

Actually he is a decent bloke and like previous military personnel in this post, he will in all likelihood do an exceptional job.

But your purile and vile opinion has been allowed to be expressed because of people like him giving you that priveledge.

I am begining to hate this country and its people a little more each time listen to the peices of sh1t in it express their heart felt opions. Angry

Lets face it..only traitors to this country would defend being subservient to a foreign monarchy while saluting a flag with the UK flag flying in the corner.
The English flag doesn't have the union jack anywhere on it so why does the Australian flag pay homage to our invaders and oppressors?
You are either an Australian Republican and a patriot or a sniveling british monarchist and a traitor..there is no in between.

There is an in between. There's people like me who support our constitutional monarchy because it pisses of "progressives".
