[QUOTE="Aussie Pete, post: 76327714, member: 421731"] God ordains leaders. We mess with God's ordering at our own peril. If Australia does move to a republic, what will we have instead? If France, Canada, a host of African nations, North Korea, China and even the good ole USA are examples, I suggest that we are better off as we are. We are not saddled with a President, who is either a pointless figurehead or an overbearing autocrat. Her Majesty does not interfere with Australia's government. And God used the Governor General at the time to rid this nation of the worst PM in out history - Gough Whitlam. If it's not broken, don't try to fix it. Australia rejected the republic model some years ago. We need all the friends we can get. The US is our ally, but I have no assurance that they will have our backs if there is conflict with China. The UK is supplying highly advanced warships for Australia's defence. They may well be the supplier of the nuclear submarines that will eventually be procured for the RAN. "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" (Pearl Harbor) is still the best strategy. We cannot overcome China alone. [/QUOTE]
