Austrailia, the big question - What's up in the land down under?

[ilovebender.com]

This thread is to discuss politics in Austrailia.

Should Austrailia become a republic or keep Her Majesty?

[Yoshirama]

I think republic since we are so far away from britain.

[ilovebender.com]

that's true...

And they can be biest against Australia when they favour England in stuff like bidding for sporting events and such.

I wonder, does Austrailia gain anything being a common wealth country?
or Could Austrailia happily say goodbye to mother Britian, and declare that enough is enough?

Like the child cutting the apron strings, as it were.

[Yoshirama]

Their is more gains then loses, one lose is the commonwealth games. Heaps of gains though.

[nacirema]

I like that there seems to be this bond between Australia and the UK, but I doubt that that is reason enough to keep them 'British'
