We've got our own big banana - we don't need a foreign one living on the other side of the planet.

Can you explain the point of putting the PM position into the constitution?

To ensure accountability and provide stability.

How will it ensure accountability? Won't it make the PM unaccountable?

How would it provide stability in the case where a PM became unstable and the voting public, as well as their elected representatives, wanted to get rid of the PM to ensure stability?

Or when you say "ensure stability" did you mean job security for the elected PM, rather than recourse for a dissatisfied electorate?

Greg?

Greg why do you insist their proposal is a better system if you cannot even explain the point of it?

Why is the Australian Republican Movement even promoting a change that has absolutely nothing to do with being a republic and would destroy one of the best features of our democracy?

Senator Mehreen Faruqi, Deputy Greens Leader and spokesperson for the Republic

If Mehreen doesn't like it she can go back to Pakistan

Greens represent less than 10% of Australians it's the unemployed loonie fringe voters

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

The likely candidates would be the Governor General at the time of the change, retired Governors General or retired High Court judges.

I'm not sure how many of those were born overseas.

And, I'm pretty certain they've all had background checks.

I assume you'd prefer an Australian-born citizen.

Can I ask why?

The distribution of power. No single individual holds too much power. Our Prime Minister, supposedly the most powerful person in the country, could literally go insane and our system would cope quite easily. It could self-fix faster than a media cycle.

'While Queen Victoria signed the Act in 1900, the key British minister responsible for guiding the legislation through the British Parliament was Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of State for the Colonies.'

Q Elizabeth sat down and signed away her grand title because the Oz PM ordered her to do it, and stood over her to make sure she got it right.
