The Republic of Australia

[Andrew Walker]

The Conga Line of Empty heads is up and dancing on this thread. These are part of the 50% who, at any opportunity inflict the self serving rich on us though they have the arse out of their daks.

Currently, at their idiot connivance, we are a possible/probable target in a thermonuclear war for our support of US global primacy. They also voted against reform of the property market in favour of property investors with tax breaks rather than in the interests of their own kids/grandkids. Too lazy to think for themselves, we have to put up with second hand Murdoch drivel.

I make my own kombucha. Quite delicious.

How does becoming a Republic make us more socialist exactly?

[Paddo Colt 61]

Could each of the Congas tell us how Socialism would ruin their life? In the Chinese system all the ads are still there to interrupt their TV time (they seem to treasure those ads) but control over energy resources haven't been sold off leading to exorbitant hikes in the cost of living. Here in OZ heating will soon be a privilege of the wealthy in Wintertime.

For all you lowly subjects, please bow down and acknowledge.

I'll be voting NO, simply because anything that pi$$es off that pompous wanker Peter Fitzsimmons can only be good in my opinion.

not a good reason to be a monarchist

not a good reason to be a monarchist

Maybe not, but it's a damned fine reason to be anti-republican.

lol but it's not about personalities, about whether fitzsimmons is a wanker or prince charles is a jughead. it's about:
a) whether we want to have the english monarch as our head of state; and, if the answer to that is no,
b) whether there is a better alternative

[bondi.boy]

Could be that it's Labor (mostly Catholic) versus the Protestant Monarch and supporters of that system.

So you're a socialist and republican who acts like a dictator with a bad temper?

When you speak of conga lines all I think is...

You don't make friends with salad.
You don't make friends with salad.
You don't make friends with salad.

Huh.....?

Well..................you were the one who bought up conga lines.

There are no benefits in becoming a republic...not even one.
But there are many things wrong with becoming a republic now.

[zac]

not having a foreigner as our head of state is a benefit. it's stupid that australians swear allegiance to the monarch of england
