...this is getting off subject, but nice inuendo.

i don't think australia will change for a long time. rearangeing a entire goverment is alot of work and asking the people to place alot more trust in the PM (who would become the 'P') is alot to aks. unless there is a good reason for it Australia will most likely remain a democaracy.

most people want a republic, but the current system works, lots of people are happy with is and the risk of major change is to great to make it worth it.

I would suggest the people should choose, if its not to much trouble for them to elect a president, I would vote for Sir Les Patterson Cultural Attache to the Court of St James, if I were an Aussie,

This is what People's Advocate (Sydney 17.07.1854) wrote 154 years ago… Aren’t we running late? There are just a few remaining colonies and monarchies in the world – do we have to be the last? Society divided in Royals and commons can never be democratic and has nothing to do with equality. Now is the time to choose – let’s have one last and fair referendum.
