In the Kingdom of Australia, there is an ongoing debate on the form of Government. Some Australians are in favour of a republic instead of the current monarchy. As far as I can understand, the main reason for favouring a republic in Australia is that they want a Head of State of their own, an Australian, instead of the Queen of England.
I can understand the wish for a Head of State that is your own, but I cannot understand why Australia has to become a republic in order to achieve that goal. Is there no member of the British royal family who happen to live in Australia already, and able to become Queen or King? Perhaps there is some Aboriginal chief who can become Queen or King? A republic simply cannot be the only answer, can it? In a country as big as Australia, there must be some people with big enough imagination to come up with a solution that preserves the monachial form of government even if you would want a domestic Head of State. Personally, I believe status quo would also be nice.
