Opinion: I would vote for the new republican model - but it’s got little chance of getting that far | TurnbullMalcolm

The Australian Republican Movement launches its new model for a new generation at Centennial Park on Wednesday.If we are to have a directly elected president then any Australian citizen should be able to nominate. They shouldn’t need the permission of a bunch of politicians to run. In order to ensure the ballot paper isn’t unworkably huge, there could be a requirement for a minimum number of nominators – 5,000 or 10,000 perhaps – but beyond that it should be open slather.

Facing the grim news ... Bob Hawke and Malcolm Turnbull digest the result of the republic referendum in 1999.An Australian head of state, in our parliamentary system, is better chosen by a method that is calculated to deliver a non-partisan figure who can secure wide support across the political spectrum and not just 50 per cent plus one. That is why I have supported the parliamentary appointment model.But a directly elected president can work.

Those are the only two votes that are needed. Some still argue for an advisory in-principle vote on whether Australia should be a republic. That would be smashed, with the no case arguing it was a blank cheque.

TurnbullMalcolm I refuse to gain covid19 from others. My blood group is set now from my husband. Until i deliver my baby qith him i wont covid19 vaccine. I beleive even if he were to even though all our vaccines since birth were made for each other only i wont let him be abused by ignorant COPS

TurnbullMalcolm You may wonder why im so far smarter than most inregards to medical treatments for myself. 16000 years of magnacata purposeful marriages of non incest no 1st cousin mixing in my blood no sifilis and every disease i heal from without vaccine of homeopathic blood mix. I refuse hepb

TurnbullMalcolm 1st cousin blood causes sifilis a disease of the brain that sent Hitler mad. Also the main psychiatric scholar quoted in text university treatments or should we say barbaric inhumane painful unneccessary torture Freud died of INCEST RAPE sifilis.

TurnbullMalcolm Organise planned demolishment of world trade centre reduce height of it back to old flight path specifications. Ground Qantas even as Singaporean muslims own every airline that flies Australian planes. Please dont blame ignorance of Australia and dumb youth based on lax 1stcousin

TurnbullMalcolm Imbisilic isolisations of reinventing the wheel type laws to be passed must not be moved toward and the greatest err so far would be to give in to muslim faithed over church of england chriatian royals. America made a grave era when agreeing to allow flight path knowledge.911.

TurnbullMalcolm There are many reasons that there are parliamentary decisions and many judicial precedenta and law. The monarchial heirachy is of major significance. I am of royal linage myself as an ordained pastor of a church of England church i am also one given royal ascent. It is for law.

TurnbullMalcolm Australia doesn’t need state governments. We are too small to feed so many bureaucrats

TurnbullMalcolm You had a go and set us back decades Turnbull, you have zero credibility, once a bankster ALWAYS a bankster. We had something good, something visionary, and you destroyed, and the whole time you were investing in fiber NBN in Spain, and why not look how fast they are!! auspol

TurnbullMalcolm You look like Max Gillies. Perhaps you missed your true calling?

TurnbullMalcolm You look like Max Gilles. Perhaps you missed you true calling?

TurnbullMalcolm Me too!

TurnbullMalcolm The less Turnbull attaches himself to the republican cause the better it's chance of success. He is the poisoned chalice in these matters. Despised by both sides of the spectrum.

TurnbullMalcolm Much more urgent is electoral reform. 2-party preferred voting has created a duopoly, not healthy for democracy. Moreover, Councils must get constitutional rights and guaranteed funding. Remember this:

TurnbullMalcolm They sabotaged our chances. Hawk was know to be a US spy, and they don't want a Republic

TurnbullMalcolm No one cares at this point in time.

TurnbullMalcolm Spot on.

TurnbullMalcolm “…the Australian Republic Movement supported the new president being appointed by a two-thirds majority of a joint sitting of Parliament.” And there’s the problem. A prez selected by parliament, just as now a pm is selected by a party committee. Citizens deserve a direct vote.

TurnbullMalcolm At least this article isn't a month old puff piece about Peter Costello's mate Morrison.
