    Your Heritage

    My bloodlines are Colonial American: my people had all settled the area by the time Independence was declared in 1776. My ethnicity is largely English, partly Scottish and Scots- Irish, 1/8 French and 1/16 German and a little Swiss mixed in. My ancestors settled Virginia ( some went to...

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Something else to investigate. Oh, by the way, did you know that Canada also had a republican movement? http://canadian-republic.ca/home.html It looks like the British Commonwealth of Nations wasn't as imperial as I'd thought.

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    It does. I just thought that international travel and migrations might be cheaper ( and easier) for Europeans than for those of us in the Western Hemisphere, so they'd be more likely to take advantage of the travel opportunities that would afford them.

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    The world has gotten smaller. I guess some people from colonized lands would for various reasons go to places like Europe and Asia to make more advantageous lives for themselves than what they would possibly know at home.

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Thanks, sorry. I got confused there for a second.

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Yeah, I know an American guy who moved to Spain with his wife and her family. Her family was originally from that area, though, so I guess it's natural that they would move back out there for whatever reason.

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Right, then part of her family moved out of the Netherlands to settle in Tasmania. That was a weird near- paradigm shift for a minute.

    Random nonsense

    They look rather good, to be honest. How is the taste? I understand that sesame seeds can give false positives on drug tests.

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Okay, okay, wait a minute. I thought Imalive was ethnically Dutch? She's Australian? So people from places like Australia, New Zealand and Canada are moving out to Europe? Or maybe her people in Australia are of Dutch descent living in Tasmania. Confusing the heck out of me. I though Europe was...

    Never heard of them. O.o

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Good enough for me.. I'm on their list. :P

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    I found something that those interested in Australian republicanism might be interested in.. it's got a decent history link.. http://www.republic.org.au/. I'd sign up for the email link, but as an American, I don't see what good I could do. I'm already living in a Republic.

    Pound to a penny this lot was planted, but they were funny.

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Before Princess Diana's death, I might have sympathized with the Royals some. Now, I hope your country gets exactly what it wants and needs in regard to its autonomy. Australia should be governed by Australians.

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    That seems to simplify things considerably.

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    That's right, you lot don't have that Puritan background. :) Do you suppose waiting for the current queen's death would work, though? If Australia breaks away, what of New Zealand? Or Canada? Or any of the other country in the Commonwealth of Nations?

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Ah, yes, there should be a distinction made between a member of the United States Republican Party and an Australian Republican. Let's see if I can find some links! Here we go.. http://www.republic.org.au/, https://www.gop.com/. This is definitely worthy of further study.

    I'm just going to bump this for any Australians who'd like to share their insights..

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Yeah, Josiah, I got it. :cool: I hear what you say about the anti- Americanism, too. I see enough of that online to not want to deal with it in real life. Unlike you, I've never been overseas, but I do appreciate the perspective of those like yourself who have traveled.

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Okay, so you're more focused on events that affect the United States. Very understandable. I just asked the question because somebody of Australian nationality suggested that they get rid of the monarchy and establish a republic. I just wanted to see how that would pan out.
