"With all due respect, the EU, may it RIP, was slipping. Ten years ago, could we have had Brexit?"
Well it will sure save them a whole lotta money...lol
We should all leave the UN.........
The Aussies are not already autonomous? Gov’t Gunz theft notwithstanding.
Eventually there will just be England........
Pure BS.
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.
Australians reject a republic, knowing it will only add another layer to our already bloated government.
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
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.
"With all due respect, the EU, may it RIP, was slipping. Ten years ago, could we have had Brexit?"
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.
Sounds like somebody’s still mad about the governor general dismissing Gough Whitlam.
well that is a few decades overdue. Canada next.
Australia should get out fast, especially now that Germany and France are proposing merging the remaining EU members into a single European superstate.
Ach zo !!??
So the Commonwealth existed because of the EU ? I have a doubdt ....
The big MSM and the croocked politics are really walking on their head and getting more and more crazy
Berlin_Freeper sure is palpably mad at England for daring to defy the great European Union.
BTW berlin_freeper
GO TRUMP
HURRAY FOR BREXIT
So this guy wants Britain in the EU yet wants Australia out of the commonwealth. He is clearly a Europhilic, Anglophobic leftist.
well, there’s the greater asian co prosperity sphere
well, it is about time they moved away from this. Australia’s interests diverge heavily from England’s now — they align more with the USA’s and with democratic countries in Asia.
