It's not cosmetic. There's a tremendous difference between monarchy and republic. Of course, Australia will have to define what it means to be a republic there, but as soon as government realizes that a demigod's permission isn't required in advance to do anything, big things happen. This is especially true for a vast continental realm like Australia. The GDP will double over in your lifetime, your military powers will increase even to the point where not only will you be able to defeat the flightless birds, but you'll later on regret driving them into extinction. It'll be awesome. And, the best part, no pesky Mexicans to the south. Come to think of it, the Australian republic is kind of a threat to American hegemony. Can't let that happen. Prepare for war, fuckers.

If president isn't elected choice of people, then- no wait, we don't vote for our prime minister either. At most it'll stop people stabbing eachother in the back and nabbing the leadership which is pretty funny anyhow so that's a bad thing.

Becoming a republic is traitorous, people going on about how its the "British monarchy" not the Australian one are fucking retarded.

legally the Australian Monarchy is different then the British one, so we can change our royal succession laws to include someone Australian if we want to.

but regardless i would rather Australia be the inheritor of the rest of Britain's possessions such as the Falklands and their nukes when it leaves the caliphate.

This is incorrect. Regardless, I think Australia has already made the decision to become a Republic with diversity and multiculturalism. It will happen inevitably you're right. I don't think it should happen but it's already too late to recover a White Australia as an outpost of British civilisation on the other side of the world.

Monarchy is the best system.

Why?

Well a politician is like you and me mate. Just a normal cunt who wants to get as much out of life as he can.

It doesn't matter how he got into politics, whether he was super intelligent and driven, or whether he was from an influential family - once he's there he has only one goal: feather his own nest.

This+representative democracy is a formula for DISASTER.

That is because politicians are not eternal. They are temporary. Their power will soon expire and thus they NEED to get as much for themselves, their friends and their family as possible before their term is up (or they die)

Because of this the elected politicians with inevitably screw the working people, screw the business people and screw up the entire country if it means they can retire a little comfier and give their kids a slightly better life.

Monarchy solves this problem but putting ALL the power and wealth in the hands of one ruler.

The monarch owns all the nations wealth and therefore doesn't need to be greedy. Everything you own, he or she owns too. Thus your power is her power, your wealth is her wealth. etc

The monarch unlike a politician doesn't have a limited term. instead the monarch isn't just the head of the nation, the monarch IS the nation and anything the monarch does will benefit the nation (and you).

I know there are exceptions to this and some monarch went nuts but it's much better than a fucking facade of elected representatives.

God save the queen. May she take back australia from the hands of the corrupt idiots running the show today and make Australia great again.

obviously you know nothing about Australia.

The most Australian thing to do is not fix whats not broken, did you know federation would not have happened if Britain didn't take the lead?

Britain was tired of dealing with each state individually so they offered incentives for all of the states to form a single country.

So basically without Britain "Australia" as a country wouldn't even exist.

Actually, whether or not Australia becomes a republic will probably not affect how our government functions.

we would only really remove, the governor general as head of state (whos role is symbolic anyway) and make our prime minister (title change pending) head of state.

under the Westminster system, the prime minister effectively almost wield total power anyway, so yeah, nothing changes

So the Prime Minister would be both Head of Government and Head of State? Most republic models I've heard proposed have suggested a president elected by the parliament would be Head of State.
>>
>>74063260

As soon as we become a republic our British history will be erased. The migration floodgates will open and Australia will soon turn into a multicultural mecca. We will be full of Waleed Aly types talking about how Australia has always been a multicultural country and that our past was holding us back. Most of our culture will be changed.

As a white anglo Australian I have no idea why you would want to become a republic. I love the fact that my country still has links to my ancestral home.

No he cannot, because if the monarch disagrees with the prime minister, then the monarch is acting against the interest of its people.

because you must remember, member of parliament are elected by the people, thus they represent the peoples interest.

the parliament can, and probably will vote to pass the bill in to law anyway, regardless of what the monarch thinks.

She's technically our Head of State in a sense but she is 'represented' by our Governor General who acts on the advice of the PM.

The monarchy has legal power to do what I said. It doesn't generally exercise those powers, but it does have them, and Australian law is based on the monarchy. If your fat old bitch made an unreasonable demand, it's likely the abbos would coup the government and form a republic, but that's what it would take because they cannot legally overrule her authority.

Sorry Karim, but you're clearly the one who is uneducated here, given that you're trying to claim blatantly incorrect nonsense is true.
