On the eve of a Royal tour by HRH Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall in November 2012, a ONE News/Colmar Brunton poll reported 70% of people questioned responded they wanted to keep the Queen as head of state, while 19 percent supported New Zealand becoming a republic.[35][36]
A poll taken in the wake of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee found that support for the monarchy is at a twenty-five-year high. 58% of respondents supported the monarchy whereas 35% supported a republic.[50]
>twenty-five-year high

What is wrong with being attached to Britain, anyway? There's nothing shameful about embracing where you came from. If you wanted to completely sever ties and become your own thing like America you had the chance to do it long ago.
>>53071271
There are voting adults now who were toddlers when we had the 1999 referendum
tbf the biggest problem we have is agreeing on a model for selection the head of state, but once Charlie the Hippie is king I expect that people's opposition to conservative models will fade away

It's not about severing ties, it's about changing our constitutional head given that for various reasons the British monarch is no longer appropriate.

I don't know what's going on here, that guy said something totally logical.
Isn't Australia a sovereign country?
>>53071440
So you can have a useless figurehead European Republic-style President that only serves a ceremonial role, is expensive, and is often very, very old? Because that is what I imagine you would end up with.
Most people barely even bother to remember the head of state's name in European countries with that system. It's the same as a monarch without the tradition behind it or tourism money.
>>53071552
it's a chinese colony
>>53071552
>I don't know what's going on here, that guy said something totally logical.
No, he didn't actually. Saying something is "no longer appropriate" without giving any valid reasons is by no means logical.
>Isn't Australia a sovereign country?
How is having the Queen not make us a sovereign country?
>>53071575
Like NZ can talk. You're a Chinese/Maori/Islander colony with DESIGNATED Maori seats.
>>53071515
remote
someone else's head of state
Charles
Charles's mum's only contribution to constitutional crises is to sit on her hands, which has worked out so far for us but has led to real clusterfucks elsewhere e.g. PNG
our domestic political culture is republican and egalitarian in nature

Can you republicucks make up your mind? You'd be complaining if she actually did something back in 1975.
>>53071610
>How is having the Queen not make us a sovereign country?
b-because she isn't elected by australians
she is not even australian
and she's the head state of every australian
mmmmmhhhh
>>53071666
Why?
I like having the Queen because it makes me feel like NZ is more relevant
>>53071706
This is my thinking.
Changing the release valves on your political constitution is not the same as shitting on established national symbolism just because it offends your autism.
>>53071746
Monarchs have always been foreign in every country. It's the way we used to preserve friendship and the balance of power in the western world before nukes and closed-door free trade agreements took over instead.
>>53071746
>b-because she isn't elected by australians
No shit, it's a fucking constitutional monarchy. The King of Spain isn't elected either.
>she is not even australian
Technically she is; she is the Queen of Australia
>>53071559
>>53071559
>So you can have a useless figurehead European Republic-style President that only serves a ceremonial role, is expensive, and is often very, very old?
They/we already have governor-generals, would what you say actually be any worse?
>>53071804
yes I know our head of state system is kinda retarded too
>>53071802
but we aren't feudal anymore
>>53071747
Because the role and its trappings would be those of the Governor-General today, and he's cheap as chips.
I'm living in one of the most pleasant, luxurious and safe places to live in human history. Not all European overseas colonies ended this way, and not even the majority.
Given this, I can't fault the job my head of state has been doing at all, and in fact I feel it is only reasonable for a debt of loyalty to be owed.
God save the Queen.
>>53071802
That idea got literally btfo a bit more than a century ago
>>53071862
>Because the role and its trappings would be those of the Governor-General today, and he's cheap as chips.
Why do we need to dump the current system then?
>>53071841
We haven't been feudal for centuries, even under absolute monarchs before Wold War I. It has nothing to do with feudalism. Constitutional monarchy is just proven to be a good system. In fact, I think it would be even better if the monarch actually had some limited powers, like being able to call for public referendums on certain issues.
>>53071898
It's not about dumping the current system; it's about formalising it.

>>53070999
He invented it
If Australia had origins similar to Canada and NZ then I might understand monarchists, but we were founded as a dumping ground for Britain's outcasts and rebels, many of them Irish. Brits didn't give a fuck about us then, and they don't give a fuck if we become a republic now
The Australian monarchist is literally the embodiment of cuckoldry
>>53074364
Isn't the whole prison colony a meme though? I know we did send prisoners there but surely it wasn't the entirely of Australia's existence?

guys what do we call queensland if australia becomes a republic?
presidentsland? fuck i just don't know
>>53071746
Australia is a British country
We run our own shit, but we are a British country both culturally and ethnically
The only people that want this to change are immigrants and people in Melbourne
Too be honest I'd hazard a guess and say some of the immigrants would probably support the Monarchy
>>53081522
Would probably remain Queensland, renaming the states would be retarded. Queensland was named in honour of Queen Victoria, just like Victoria was; It doesn't change to Kingsland when there is a King instead of a Queen, why would it change if we didn't have a Queen.
>>53081622
It could be triggering for abos reminded of colonial times.
The wave of communism will not spare Australia
>>53071746
I see no problem with this
>>53075837
25% of Australians have at least one convict in their lineage
That is absolutely fuck all considering the British have been here for 250 years
Think about how many people are in your lineage and how connected people really are when you go back far enough
For 75% not to have any convicts is truly amazing
If you went back 250 years for people in the UK and looked to see if anyone had at least 1 criminal in their lineage what % do you think it would be? It would probably be a similar number.
>>53074817
Vast majority of people who came to Australia were not convicts, just like vast majority of people living in mining towns are miners. Convicts was the purpose of the establishment of the Colony but many people came to start a new life. The bulk of British people came the Australia after Federation anyway. More British people came to Australia during the 60's then It's 130 years as a Colony
>>53081912
>Vast majority of people who came to Australia were not convicts
most of them were political prisoners too or did really basic shit. serious crimes didn't allow for the option to get deported
