        The usual warnings from conservatives that the sky might fall in if we become a republic. Just as it would if we legislated same sex marriage.

        I fully agree. We would be mad to get a bad Australian like Donald Trump

        And Australians should ask themselves if they really want some politician like Shorten or Turnbull to become their head of state, and fracture the unity of the country. I certainly don’t.

        Britain has this very same debate. Post Diana's death the monarchy was very much out of favor with Brits calling for an end to Monarchy. With Will & Kate the monarchy is having a revival there. In time Australia may have it's decision made for them if Britain ends monarchy.
