Having a colonial flag in 2015 is an embarrisment for us.

sooner the better and change the flag and the anthem as well

there was a push by both governments secretly, hawke and howard for Australia to be the worlds dumping ground. this was pushed by great Britain and the USA.

yes, great Britain looks after its commonwealth countries, just like they looked after the aborigines from nuclear testing in the late 50's...still refuse compensation. the agreement to allowing the nuclear test was that the mother land would share nuclear information and support Australia's bid to become nuclear.in other words Australia was stabbed in the back and not supported.

vote 1   Australia to have a Australian president

heres an article on Australia being a dumping ground for the worlds nuclear waste.

nothing wrong with our anthem womble...least its not, 'god save our queen'as it once was

All irrelevant.  Either way we bow down to King Obama IMO.....

we owe America our freedom in ww2 where as great britian left us for dead...but that's another story.


bring on a republic.

it's pretty uninspiring Megsy - we can do better imo

We owe America the taking away of our freedoms ever since megsy.  Is that a part of your story?

we have more freedom than anywhere else in the world IMO...you better explain why you think America took away our freedom?...if its because of terrorist, the whole world is suffereing from these radicals.

I am all for a republic. Get the constitution , substite queen for president and Commonwealth for republic. simple.


If it cost more than 20,000 to becomew a republic count me out

In light of the world's (and esp your) new paymasters how about 'The People's Republic of Australia' as a title for your new monarch free country? Either way get rid of the union flag from yours ffs lads - it's about time!

There's one good thing about Tony Abbott. The man played Rugby. Was apparently quite good. Played some First Grade. That automatically makes him a superior human being to any man that hasn't played Rugby. His fairly high level of achievement in the game makes him way beyond most mortals. He did also punch Joe Hockey at footy training one time. That's Gold Medal stuff right there.

Maybe I'll tune in again in 2016 see if there's been a reply on the oz forum might be safer to wait to 2017 there's an almost 50% chance of a new post on here by then.

over the last 53 years went from 72% against 1965.  1986 58% against.   Not long now.
