Couldabeen & Lizzy, i couldn’t agree more. Having a constitutional monarchy protects all Australians from unfair legislation and policies. Do we really want an American style of politics when we see what is happening there. Where leaders are appointed on who has the most cash. I think not. Just look at what is happening presently with attempts to divide the population, what would a republic do to us as a nation. I say we have it better as we are and as the old saying goes, if it ain’t broken don’t fix it.
