I was rather hoping she'd make it to 100. I wanted to see if she'd get a telegram from herself.

I hear this a lot from time to time but serious question, what would the benefit be?
The benefit would be that the head of state of Australia is an Australian. Also, the person would be selected on merit rather than inheriting the position from their parent.


Yes, I know that, but how would it BENEFIT us? Decision making? I seriously don't know, hence asking.

Why fix something that ain't broken?
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

Please be respectful when talking about the Queen.

She was a head of a state, a monarch, a mother to multiple pedophiles and most importantly a devoted cousin to her husband.

I see an Australian becoming head of state of Australia as a benefit in itself. I think the symbolism - Australia being an independent, mature nation, rather than one where its citizens owe allegiance to a foreign monarch - would enrich our body politic.

In terms of impact on our day-to-day lives, the impact would be almost zero.

Bum Crack wrote:Why fix something that ain't broken?


To me, a system whereby a person becomes sovereign because of who their parent was (etc.), and where no Australian could ever become our head of state, and where Australians essentially have no say in this, is definitely a broken system.

That is not to say that I would support any major constitutional changes - certainly I support the Westminster system of government. However I think becoming a republic is an important, albeit limited, step for Australia.

Perhaps not the time to debate becoming a republic.

I have however reflected on the passing of the only monarch I have ever known. The royals have had their challenges but the one thing that was a constant was the Queen. If I could pick one word to describe her reign, it would be, dignity.
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!

It's sad that her family have let her down over the years, her and Prince Philip have set great examples, how hard is it for the rest to follow when your life is made so easy for you?

I heard tonight that part of the clause for Big Ears to take the monarch was that he has to hand it over when he turns 80, I wonder if that is true?
