Tho' the Coronation did have a traumatic effect on us way back then, we had to learn a new song for school assembly, instead of "God Save the King" we had to learn "God Save the Queen". It were 'orrible.

Because she is our Queen and we all love her.

By the way she's your Queen as well as ours.
You voted to keep her. Remember?

I certainly didn't. All I can say is thank God I can at least stand up and sing our National Anthem with pride.

After Elizabeth II is gone we will figger out a way to be monarchy free. Last time the choices were wrong. They (the govt) obviously wanted to keep the monarchy @ that time. When they will let us go they will give us more reasonable choices. SOB

Next time the English born won't be eligible to vote. That way we get a true picture of what the Australian people want.

My English friend were frantic, they actually believed that if we broke away from the Commonwealth and they hadn't nationalised, they'd be sent packing.

Come on bring it on.

Are you an Australian citizen cods? It's ok, we won't send you back, they don't want you anyway after deserting the sinking ship.

Not sure what you mean there. Is there some new law coming where pommy-australians wont be allowed to vote? I have a friend who was born in england and came here with her parents in the 70s. She votes. Dont think shes that keen on the monarchy either.

the whole problem last time was the choice we were given. We need better choices.

My father was Scottish and came to Australia as a child with his family. He was never naturalised (which I think would be a more correct term to use rather than nationalised) but was able to vote and do anything an Australian citizen could do except stand for election to parliament and, if I remember correctly, be a Justice of the Peace.

It goes back to the old notion that being British and being Australian were pretty much the same thing. That all changed some time ago (was it in the 1970s?) but it wasn't made retrospective, so any British citizens who came to Australia as permanent residents prior to the change retained the right to vote.
