Thats ok for you Shepps...........but we live in Australia, so what point is there to have a Queen of Australia that very rarely is in this country, and has no power anyway :confused:

[Shepps]

there isn't any really.

And the POMS themselves are starting to question the value of the royalty..........

I'm republican as you can get...but caution in our political systems is wise....otherwise we could end up with goodness know who and they might just try and cement themselves in power like Uganda's Mugabi (spelling???) (how would you like little Johnny for another 10 years as president Johnny)

I don't think Jonny, aka. Fake Eyebrows, will even the option of becoming president, that was one of the few things they actually decided on...

[Kay]

Johnny as president...there is an awful thought........might even change my mind about the monarchy :cry:

My thought is that we don't need England at all. The only reason they are so powerful is because they are defending an island the size of tasmania.

We don't need them as allies. We are covered under the ANZUS treaty. This treaty links us with the most powerful nation on earth, the US.

**** England, if I had to choose allies I'd go with George Dubya.

U only go for guys with big armies. your such a scared wierd little guy!
