PM says Australia should become republic
 
(CNN) -- Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Tuesday she believes Australia should become a republic after Queen Elizabeth II dies.

Gillard said the country has a "deep affection" for Queen Elizabeth, but that she favors moving Australia toward a republic.

Can Britain afford to loose its prison colony?

The question is, will Prince (King):har: Charles allow the Aussies to bolt? Will he send General Cornwallis in?
Will the Aussies have a "Foster's beer party?":woot: No, not that kind of party, dump the beer into Sydney Bay.

Where will the "pro-Pommies" go? Kiwiland? it's a long swim to Canada.

What sort on new taxes will the British put on those "Rascally Rebels?"
  • 2010 Beer tax act
  • 2011 Cricket league tax
  • 2012 the correct pronuncation of "Good-day" tax
  • 2010 Tan shorts and jungle hat tax
Will France save your guy's asses like the last British split off group?:shucks::hmmm:

aussies dont know how good they have it, their head of state is some old woman on the other hemisphere. We in the republics have to live with (and feed) the idiot we elected in the same country.
Kind a reminds me, do Autralians pay some sort of tax to support the royal fammily in London??

Only reason Gillards come up with this is she's in trouble in the poll leading to this saturdays election - no ones even mentioned the republic thing at all during the last month yet she pulls it out 4 days before the election in a desperate to get re-elected!
Actually she wasn't elected ,she knifed the ex PM when he dipped in the opinion polls and her union masters decide they liked the gravy train to much and wanted to stay in power to keep feeding at the trough:x

Dullard is hoping we will look the other way whilst she and her band of burglars steal another term in office which they have not earned with the mess they'd made over the last 3 years.

The republic issue has been to referendum here and got voted down a few years back. Personally I could care less given the impact HMQE has on our country.

All that really matters is that we can keep beating the poms at cricket, rugby, rugby league, darts, etc. etc. etc and that the price of beer doesn't go up too much.:O:

Ya see that is how pitiful my knowledge is. I thought that OZ was a republic. I was fooled by there being a PM I guess.

Ozzy would do a better job of running this country than what Gillard and Krudd before her did - He's also more understandable than Krudd when Krudd started speaking in Kruddish ,Hell even Yogi Berra is the most eloquent and understandable speaker next to Krudd:o
