Oh I don't know, perhaps her family had something to do with the founding of your nation or something? Maybe it's something like the nation you're currently banging on about being non-existant until the British Monarchy approved of legislation to allow deportation, and then later passed legislation to allow Commonwealth nations to form independent states? I mean, I'm only taking random stabs in the dark there... but perhaps that's the sort of thing that might give the British Monarchy some serious historical attatchement to your nation? What do you reckon?bellaraphon wrote:yep i live in aus and personally i think it sucks that the queen is our head of state. we are thousands of kilometres away from the UK yet we've got this stupid figurehead sitting at the top of our government. she's even on our currency, i mean, what did the queen ever do to deserve this.
Then shut up, go to your local MP and get it changed. Your parliament has complete power to abolish the position, but the fact is that the majority of Australians continue to vote against the idea. It's not like you're being oppressed here, you've got the power to change things just the minute that you actually want to. Seriously go read something that isn't an Australian tabloid, then come back and debate this issue properly.bellaraphon wrote:and all this stuff that has to be passed through to the governor-general (the queen's representative) is ridiculous.

Wtf! When the hell did that happen? Why didn't somebody tell me? I had no fucking idea!bellaraphon wrote:that is history and if you didn't realise, we live in the present.
That and provided you with favourable trading terms with both ourselves and other Commonwealth nations, terms which, I might add, are what allow you to enjoy the high standards of living which you experience today; standards which are in fact the single most defining aspect of your nation's culture.bellaraphon wrote:sure, you founded us, but ever since you've never done anything good for australia except include us in your wars.
Would you care to provide another potential justification for somebody being a purely symbolic head of state? If you manage to do so, then feel free to point out a country that uses your system.bellaraphon wrote:there is no reason why the queen should be our head of state other than the history part
No fucking shit? I had no idea that MPs couldn't just pass arbitrary laws as they saw fit...bellaraphon wrote:as for the MP stuff, it takes more than one person to change something as big as this.

Wow, cracking out the racial epithets already... Way to prove that you're not labouring under some bizarre and unfounded persecution complex.bellaraphon wrote:your a pom.
Sorry, did that fly over your empty little head... my bad.

Think you can manage to come up with something semi-coherent to defend your position now? No?
