  2. I'm Australian and the interesting thing on that is that Charles has hinted in the past that countries like Australia should consider their future and constitutional arrangements. After the last time we had a referendum on it failed quite a few Australian Republicans said they'd wait until Elizabeth stepped down or died. So I we'll have another referendum on the subject. If the Australian Republicans are smart (which they weren't last time) they'll wait a respectful amount of time and be respectful to our past and likely win. If they repeat the stupidity of last time they'll lose. The one thing I can say Australians don't want is a highly politicised head of state like America does. That was what some of them wanted last time and was why it lost.
