"Well, in other news, Kevin Rudd is forming with the opposition leader to agree to transform Australia into a republic."

I reckon Australia is great the way it is currently! The government already has enough money as it is, so why are they're trying to fix it. An old saying goes: 'If it ain't broke, it ain't need fixing!'.

I remember they took a vote in 1999, and mostly/i] everyone had answered no, so it wasn't formed. However, i think that there will be no voting system. But i reckon it won't happen anyway.

What are all your opinions on this? I'd (and many others) would like to know ;)

yea i remember the vote in 99

Australia is fine for young people like you and I, not for adults who actually know what the hell they're talking about.
