        Seriously would you allow the current crop of politicians set an Australian Republic? They can’t even organise their own Citizenship, reliable base load power or control the increasing debt.....No way not yet, anyway.

        The people who drew up Constitution in 1901 definitely got it right . The ones who want a republic cant give a GOOD reason beside there dislike of the royal family . Australia is lucky to have such a stable form of government

        Have a look at all the countries who have a royal family as head of gov . There all stable . America is a good case why we dont need a republic.

        Don't fix what ain't broke. Any way would you trust any of these Muppets to set it up? I don't think so....

        Trust . I'd trust a cobra to give me a gentle kiss over them . 1975 proved how great it works . The Monarchy /GG stepped in and gave final say to the people. You and me .

        Why would anyone support a system where no Australian is qualified to be our Head of State? Unless they owe allegiance to another country.

        Calm down. We're just watching a $60mil wedding. I watched the Kardashian weddings too, doesn't mean I want them as head of state.pic.twitter.com/Tb7xBZaI7k

        And yet 4 million viewers (on 7, 9 and ABC) watched on a Saturday night! The Royals do weddings well, even Prince Charles came across pretty well. Pretty sure there is life in the monarchy yet. Got some big PR guns now in Harry, Kate, Meghan, George and Charlotte. #RoyalWedding

        Why would a wedding change the debate? It's going to be 20 years until the next one that anyone cares about.

        hang on, isn't #Rugby dying... does it take the old die hards with it?? @Peter_Fitz is just another who would love #Australia to become more like the #USA... so we could have our own ocker #Trump!! It ain't broke, DON'T fix it. #politicians DON'T NEED more power.
