Australia's
Constitution
The Australian Constitution belongs to the PEOPLE - not to
governments or political parties. While the Crown heads all of our great institutions of
state, no politician can usurp power. The Crown is the ultimate guarantee of all our
freedoms. We are already an Independent Sovereign Nation, both legally and
constitutionally.
Are you prepared to take the risk and accept the consequences of an ill-defined and
ill-conceived republic?
I believe the government should be more concerned with
Unemployment, Health, Education, Aged Care, Tax Reform, Tariff Protection, Judiciary
Powers, Citizens Initiated Referenda, Immigration and Foreign Ownership, just to name a
few?
Conclusion
- In the final analyse, it will be by a
majority of the Australian people who decides the outcome, at the ballot box. (see Section 128 of the Australian
Constitution)
The gravity of this decision must not
be taken lightly, as it will determine the future of AUSTRALIA.

The
Australian Flag
OUR Flag is a symbol from whence we have come. The Union
Jack represents:
 |
The Cross of St George for
England |
|
The Cross of St Andrew for
Scotland |
|
The Cross of St Patrick for
Ireland |
These represent our early settlers, then of course there is
the Southern Cross representing OUR place on Earth, and finally, the seven point Star of
Federation, it is OUR history book, and nobody can change OUR history.
Our Flag Poem say's it all. But if
you have any doubts ask a mother, father, sister or brother, daughter, son or mate of an
Australian Soldier who paid the supreme sacrifice for his or her, FLAG and COUNTRY.
Conclusion - LEAVE OUR FLAG ALONE

A President verses
a Governor-General
The real choice is NOT between the Queen and an
Australian as Head of State, but between a familiar Australian institution, the
Governor-General, and a presidency which would break new ground.
Judged against the only criteria that matters -
'will it improve Australia's system of government?' - becoming a republic risks a great
deal of uncertainty and division, to fix what is at worst, the minor issue of addressing
Australia's titular Head of State.
We entrenched the Monarchy in our Constitution,
and more recently kept it in the Australia Act, because it was in the best interests of
Australia to do so. We have kept it because it has served Australia's purposes and
we must continue to retain it for as long as it is in Australia's best interests.
