Australian Republic
For God's sake, why is Australia still tied to England? Australia is a mature country and should be a republic. It really angers me that the Federal Government is still tied to the Motherland's apron strings.
The farcical word plays of the referendum in November 1999 really p**sed me off. The question should have been "Are you in favour of an Australian head of State?" If the answer was yes, we could have moved on to work out how to go about it. The referendum dealt with proposed models. This was nothing more than a smokescreen. Arrghh!!!
Thank goodness there is now a groundswell to get this important issue back on track. Thank you to the people at Getup!.
