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

The question is, will Prince (King)

Charles allow the Aussies to bolt? Will he send General Cornwallis in?
Will the Aussies have a "Foster's beer party?"

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?

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

The first battle:
The British march onto the field

Then the Aussies

runaway runaway

nikimcbee · 08-18-10, 12:50 AM

Then, 5 months later, the British return with their own secret weapon....

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

I don't know, I sometimes get the impression that Ozzy may have occasionally experimented with drugs. Can't put my finger on it though. Just an impression.
