[QUOTE="Bob Crowley, post: 76437154, member: 383390"] I'm a pessimist about eternal Australian sovereignty in the long run. As I noted before we're a large land with a small population in an Asian sea. I think sooner or later we're going to be dominated by an Asian power, and I fail to see how we can avoid it. What we can do is decide [B][I]which[/I][/B] Asian power we'd prefer to be "close partners" with and start moving in that direction. It would be a lot easier to do that if we were a Republic, and not referring decisions to the British crown and parliament on the other side of the world. I think we're going to be faced with some hard choices long before this century is out, and quite possibly within your and my lifetimes. [/QUOTE]
