Well it will sure save them a whole lotta money...lol

[Red Badger]

We should all leave the UN.........

[Paladin2]

The Aussies are not already autonomous? Gov’t Gunz theft notwithstanding.

[Red Badger]

Eventually there will just be England........

[Fungi]

Hey, you have my tag line! Who was first?

[Bogie]

Pure BS.

[himno hero]

FUN

[Rurudyne]

It’s a nice piece of land being used for nothing worthwhile. As a bonus we could auction collectors souvenir ash trays made from UNESCO world heritage signs.

[Tallguy]

The elites are just having a tantrum over Brexit aren’t they? TheY alternately fret and then beat their chests and threaten. And you know what? They aren’t going to do squat.

[Byron_the_Aussie]

Utter lies.

Australians reject a republic, knowing it will only add another layer to our already bloated government.

[4rcane]

Sounds like a revenge from the Left. Australia is already free from Britain. No regulation or taxes come from UK. Commonwealth is a club, not a political union

[Helicondelta]

Little England will be just fine. Now at least they can go back to using incandescent light bulbs. I’m sure the Chinese still make them.

[Red Badger]

I have had it about a month maybe two.....

[Red Badger]

Use the land to build a theme park!.......America Land!.......

[Red Badger]

That would be fun!.......

[Fungi]

Ok, you were first but I did not plagiarize. Nice one, yours is more emphatic.

"With all due respect, the EU, may it RIP, was slipping. Ten years ago, could we have had Brexit?"

[naturalman1975]

The headline is simply incorrect - even the republicans in Australia seldom have any intention of leaving the Commonwealth - republics can remain part of the Commonwealth and most have (India, Pakistan, South Africa are three examples of Republics that remain Commonwealth nations).

And the republican movement is always looking for an excuse to call for another referendum. It’s possible they could win someday, but they have to come up with a model that the Australian people want, not just oppose the one we already have.
