But I'm not Australian, so I think my views are not really that important.

My opinion is that Australia should remain a constitutional monarchy for as long as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and (Northern) Ireland remains one which will hopefully be FOREVER! Let's not forget that it was the British that built Australia. Australia was just a backward third world hell hole before the Europeans arrived. Australia is yet ANOTHER British success story! Australia remains a British nation and the strong ties between the two countries must not be broken or diminished. The constitutional link MUST remain!
I'm just a little concerned that with all the Asians and other foreigners that have been allowed to swarm in over recent years much to public dismay, that any future vote would go against continuation of the status quo. Asians of course have no cultural or historical links with the British Isles and so may be less likely to vote for the Monarchy. Hopefully though there will not be another vote on becoming an independent republic for a long time if at all. As far as I am concerned, the issue has been SETTLED with the '99 referendum when the republican model was SOUNDLY DEFEATED much to the loony lefts dismay.
The commie traitors are still pushing their proposed constitutional vandalism of course but few are listening to their anti-Australian & anti-European treasonous rants. Most people here either couldn't give a toss about it and would vote to see it continue as a result or are firmly in favor. Long live the Australian crown and God save the Queen!
