Monarchy made you born to be second or lower class in the country, not only all your children will be same.

It doesn't matter what do you do, you will never to be elected as the head of Australia, even PM is only a employee of the governor in theory.

More practically, your PM is second class in the world leaders summit. When the PM goes to visit another country, he only meets his peer first, not the president.

Because Parliament system instead of President system, you have seen this PM change game for many seasons. When the other country has longer and more stable leadership, you have a puppet on international conferences, who knows how long this guy will be in power? It's a joke from foreign leader point of view.

Not all Republics have a President & a Prime Minister.

As does the UK the Prime Minister of this country represents the country.

There are plenty of corrupt despot Presidents in tin pot republics all over the globe.

A fine thing to model a republic on ey?

O yes.

I've been reading his columns over the years and he's every bit as much an anti-Anglo-Australian, black-armband wânker as Philip Adams and Mike Carlton.

I call BS on you reading his columns. None of his columns appear in the Daily Mail.

1) We will do it before those *u*king Kiwis do it

really you worry about the Kiwis...how odd... Roll Eyes

I always say if it aint broke why fix it..leave well alone.

The GG does all the work that the Queen would do anyway. So if we went to a Republic where you just change the title of the
GG to Australian Chief Executive (ACE), Chief Knob or whatever, that would be ok. There is no need to change a government structure that works just fine.

Just don't call the Head of State "President". We'd look like a bunch of Yank wannabes. President implies too much power.

I agree, easy, we take one step out of it, and we don't answer to a family who doesnt really give a toss about us anyway.

As far as I can tell there is nothing to suggest he is even a lefty. Born in Wahroonga attended Knox Gramma played rugby for Uni and Manly. No lefty was ever allowed in any of these institutions. Slight exaggeration but not by much.

Father a farmer and Mother an OAM for services to the CWA. Nothing in his background except for conservative indications.

Cods would be horrified to find that a CWA leader was a lefty, it just isn't allowed, think what it would do the cream in the biscuits ?
