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.
Australian political system is dysfunctional, 51% voters choose who governs while the 49% suffer with never ending squabbling until next election ? Political parties are not in the constitution ?
Let's have the electoral college--like the USA
i think its more important to focus on a treaty than this rubbish.

We’re this EVER to be predicable so THAT would probably alter my faith in people in high places:when it comes to POWER every man/woman representing a collective in the human race has the potential to be influenced : why how when THAT is the under belly of politics…of ANY nature!
