Surveys are somewhat subjective but anyway this shows that many do want change.
An appropriate time to change will be when we become a republic. An appropriate time to become a republic is when there is a change of monarch - if it does continue after the Queen. I suppose this depends on how well Prince William is groomed for the position - I can't think anyone else would be acceptable.
P.S. I've seen flag designs that include a boomerang - looks to corny for my liking. |
Western Sydney is hardly representative of Australia and considering the monarchy has been around for a hell of a long time, I see little likelihood or reason whatsoever for it to end with the Queen. It would be a dismal day in the world for sure.
