We don't want to be.

What's so repulsive in the idea of being an independent country?
>australians have humble queen as head of state
>Americans have Donald Trump

>99% faster than average in AUS
>most Australians still think Bush is the queen of yanks or something

How does it feel to be an alpha male in Straya?
>he isn't part of the glorious Anglo commonwealth
pfffffffft.
>>70860305
>his country doesn't have "commonwealth" in its name in its native langua-
Oh wait, it's Commonwealth of Australia, isn't it?
>>70860445
>Australia (Listeni/əˈstreJliə/, /ɒ-/, /-ljə/),[11][12] officially the Commonwealth of Australia,[13] is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands
yes
It's going to happen once the queen finally dies. Both the opposition leader and the Prime Minister are republicans that want to call for a referendum
>>70859954
>>most Australians still think Bush is the queen of yanks or something
No? American politics get a lot of coverage over here since we're so reliant on them geopoltically
>>70860518

Not if the crown goes straight to William. He and Kate are possibly even more popular than the Queen.

don't do it lads
>>70859843
We're surrounded by fucking water and sharks, living on the fringe of a red hot rock with insects and animals that want to eat us alive. We are about as independent as you can get, as we are basically fucking isolated from the rest of the modern world.
A little more realistic dependency and reliable support from other nations, such as between certain European nations, would be great. Isolation and being essentially dependent upon yourselves is fucking overrated.
>>70860629
When we didn't like something we gave them the finger. Like with immigrants. That's being quite independent, I say
>>70860648
>Isolation and being essentially dependent upon yourselves is fucking overrated.
no its not
>>70860567
that won't change it too much. England has been completely irrelevant to Australia since World War 2. The average Australian doesn't give a fuck about England and WILL vote in favour of becoming a republic. The only reason it didn't happen in 99 was because Howard deliberately proposed a republic system that would cause problems just so people wouldn't vote in favour of it.
>>70859891
they are same country as england.
>>70860648
>insects and animals that want to eat us alive
stop this shitty facebook meme
>>70860688
It is overrated for Australia. We LITERALLY can't survive without sucking up to whatever the major international power at the time is.
>>70860696
aren't we the biggest diaspora in your cunt?
>>70860718
chinese are desu
>>70860710
And proud. Republicucks are anti-Commonwealth and thus anti-Anglo and should be deported
>this one pole that's still trying to bantz australia since his khan forcenings
I'll give you credit for the effort
>>70860742
i thought that was a meme
Referendums to get rid of the monarchy should be impossible
>>70860718
the term diaspora doesn't really fit. 60% of Australians have English heritage, but very few of them describe or consider themselves English. Even the english who come over as teenagers tend to quickly change alligiances.
>>70860765
it is.
>>70860742
Nah, it's still the UK by a long shot.
>>70860755
absolutely fantastic post
God save the Queen.
>>70860769
also that 60% have a lot of irish mixed in with the english, so they're pretty much born with LE FUG LE INGERLAND XD in their blood

When?
>>70860888
most of the british isles is a mix anyway desu
>>70860936
yeah but this is like 50/50 mixes, with a lot of them being catholic northern irishmen
OP here, finally hopped on my computer and can write comfortably.
So, what are the current relations between Bongland and Pingstralia? How do you trade with each other being so far away one from another?
>>70860963
we're in the commonwealth together
we import lots of their beer
we export lots of people
>>70860977
>we import lots of their beer
this always surprised me
English beer is fucking great, yet England import all the shitty beers we don't even drink over here. Americans I can understand, but not the English.
>>70860888
>>70860960
Irish Australians are a meme desu. It's like in America where everyone chooses to identify as Irish or German because they think it's more interesting or "cool". Australia is more English than 50/50 mixed with Irish
>>70860905
Soon hopefully
>>70860688
Yes, it is. Look at our telecommunications and national public transport infrastructures; they are a sympton of our isolation.
>>70860711
>stop this shitty facebook meme
Travel more than an hour outside of the CBD of a capital city, you fucking piece of shit.
>>70861004
I grew up in the outback m8
>>70861001
No, it's completely different to that. People don't identify as Irish or German here, they just identify as Australian. I'm talking purely about their genetics, and the majority of Australians do tend to have quite a bit of irish in them.
>>70860993
you're right but plebs don't drink superior bitters and stouts
i dont like fosters but i like that its so popular and supports your cunt
>>70861001
except for the thousands of irish people who move to australia every year...
>>70861035
Yeah true it's nowhere near as bad here as it is in America. I have heard a few Australians call themselves "Irish" though. The best was this guy on the train who was approaching strangers and lecturing them about English crimes against the Irish and trying to sell them this book about how evil the English are, lmao.

Practically we are. It's a formality that has no real affect on Australia, there is no reason to change it.

We have like 4-5 of those, they aren't recognised so you can't really war against something that doesn't exist to anyone except a small group who live there.

by 4-5 i didn't mean gay states i meant unrecognised microstates
