Notice a pattern?
Farmers, Sugar mills, Fairfax (left media) Graeme Wood (Online lefty entrepreneur and wotif news peddler + the guy who bank-rolled Bob Brown last election)
Indigenous elders, all absolutely chuffed dining with the Queen..
They might like to think of it as their last supper, (As Labor precede to alter the Constitution to separate the crown from their land) because if big corps have their way, home grown industry and farmers can say goodbye to theirs.
If we become a republic, Australia will become fair game, (a globalists paradise , virgin land, once they needle it out of our indigenous and off our farmers) and the Queen of corps will have first pickings, flanked by BHP.
She's giving us the royal salute with her gnarled middle finger, its just we are too proud, smitten and deluded to see it for what it is.
Even our Indigenous are chuffed.
Note the emphasis on including them this time round?
She will rise at a most opportune time and declare Australia is old enough to be independent this and to form it's own pseudo-crowned republic. Royalists will be chuffed, .... and Gillard will announce a referendum this or work the constitution to allow for such a transition whereby we will think we are still a constitutional monarchy, though our constitution will be rewritten in such a way we will become like WA, a crowned state functioning like a mini-republic whereby we elect others to elect the government we want in power.
- Tony AbbottOn the Republic:
“In fact, monarchy in Australia is quite different from the monarchy in Britain. Here it also means [besides the Queen] governors-general and state governors. These are now always Australians who have distinguished themselves in some significant way…It gives the Australian crown a decidedly local flavour.
“The result of a republic with an elected president would be another politician in a key job.” P163
“The republican’s fundamental problem, though, is that change undramatic enough to succeed is too dull to bother with. “ P164

-- John Howards concerns re- our becoming a republicOur view is a fundamentally democratic view. We believe the people of Australia cannot be involved enough in deciding the future of our constitution. With an issue as critical and as important as this, there cannot be too much democracy. That is after all a possession of all of the Australian people, not just of the 148 members of the House of Representatives.

Well, not as dull as you might think Tony, because now the Queen has a vested interest in our becoming just that, a federal republic.
Europe are broke, so are the royals, (compared to their former glory), people aren't as devout/loyal as they used to be in England, mass-immigration has changed their cultural appetite for the royal family...most royals are branching out and utilising their pedigree to sustain themselves independently.
They along with many global investors and corps want what Australia has.
The more they can extract from indigenous Australians, and take from our farmers, the more there is to be had on the global stock exchange.
If we want to be truly independent, then becoming a ward of the state is not the way to go, nor is rendering our nations sovereignty even more vulnerable to foreign ownership.
Only the elite will have enough $$ to fund their ongoing American style campaigns, and as usual, they will reclaim this as soon as they are elected, rite it off as tax, at the expense of the Australian tax payer.
If we want to become the 53rd state of America, then all we need to do is act like one, by way of an Australian republic.
This is why the wealthy like Keating and Malcolm Turnbull are in favor of a republic... $$$= votes and they have plenty of it already to get their campaign ball rolling.
