If we want a head of state that is Australian, we need to come up with a method that gives the population a vote.
Only problem is that leaves it open to corruption by those who have money or power.
Allowing the parliament to select a head of state will just be a debacle, as they cant even agree on how to have a sensible meeting on it, let alone make a decision.
Sorry, but until we get politicians that are interested in the country, rather than themselves, it will ( and should ) stay on the backburner.
Having a head of state that is the queen may be unacceptable to some, but at least the position cannot be "bought".
