Few years back and again more so - they were saying "President as Head of State". Yes, because people are basically stupid and when they hear the word 'President' they immediately think our republic will be the same as the US. It won't, so they're avoiding the use of the term 'President' so as not to confuse the average Australian ignorant of political matters. I'm glad they took my advice on this matter. Crap on. The Celebrities and their A.R.M rubbish are basically American Media nobs. Everyone knows their desire for a Republic is to undermine anything British here with nothing but an Irish cliche to work on as a Republic. The 'American' influence is overwelmingly obvious, ... So obvious, in fact, that they never use the term 'President' for HOS anywhere on their website. https://republic.org.au/Dear oh dear Page 66 here: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5b531a35b98a78268300cad6/t/624372e0f12eeb... Thanks Bobby. However, there's no page 66. It's only 62 pages long. It does say this though: "Note also that several sections of the current Constitution (ss 17, 18, 19, 21, 23) include the term 'President'. These refer specifically to the office of the President of the Senate, and should not be confused with any proposal for the title 'President' for a republican Head of State (as found in the 1999 Constitution (Establishment of Republic) Bill), nor pre-empt any future decision about the title." Checked - it's page 66 on the .pdf I got from that link. I don't know if I can be bothered reading 69 pages? I'm reading the .pdf, and there are only 62 pages. No idea where you're getting "69 pages". nor pre-empt any future decision about the title OK - so they are holding "President" in reserve. I read that they want to stay out of that discussion as they know it has the potential to derail what they want. Exactly. They appear to be on the same page as me. Remove monarch, Governor General becomes Head of State, and the term 'Governor General' is replaced with 'Head of State'. Makes perfect sense. We don't want a "President".
