This Country is a great Country bountiful and beautiful I have been all over the world and nothing compares with this Country trouble is everyone is too involved to enjoy this Country if there aren't issues someone dreams some up and most of the issues are non issues , everyone is clothed , feed and sheltered if they want it , the media is the main reason for unrest , we spend a great deal of our time blaming our government forgetting of course we are the government .

MS,
"This Country is a great Country bountiful and beautiful"
No doubt about that, your National Parks are a stand out by any comparison. Your cities are no better than most and cities are about the same in most fully developed countries. Your highways are amazing, and our best is about on par with your worst.
"I have been all over the world and nothing compares with this Country."
You missed the most important one, and especially our outback with its beautiful snakes, scorpions, blazing hot sand, scrub, spiders, etc etc etc etc.
Come on over! or was that down under?

OZ I think would make a wonderful Republic , the people are hardy and of good disposition , the Country has a lot going for it if it could only get over the servant subject business the Queen and all that rubbish . Make a constitution a replica of the US .

"Make a constitution a replica of the US ."
Done that already.
The wise men looked around the world for the most successful Constitutions available, and of course came up with the US Constitution.
We took guidance from some particularly important parts, and they were included in ours. For some reason your 1st and 2nd Amendments were not.
Just think, "the right to bear arms". I could get that pump action Remington tomorrow, I know where to get it! We do not even have "freedom of speech" included, AMAZING!

"OZ I think would make a wonderful Republic ,"
As I have tried to explain before, I fully expect that Australia will become a Republic one day, probably well after I die, but we will do it in our own good time. Given the options currently on the table, the suggestion has little hope of getting up via Referendum, which MUST be held.
The media and the socialists in general want more power and the people want them to have less, simply because they do not trust them.
The Queen and the Monarchy has NOTHING to do with it! She is but a highly respected figurehead, that will sign the paper with good grace and her best wishes, she has already made that clear. Not that she has any say in the matter.
Britain did learn something from 1776.

MS,
Did you know that 3x B17s took off with the MacArthur family in one, his staff, footmen, chambermaids, and hangers on in the other and, the 3rd was full of FURNITURE!
They tried to land a Darwin, but a jap air raid was in progress, and they were diverted to Batchelor Airfield a few miles south.
They then flew to Alice Springs, (all 2000 of them) and caught the 'Ghan' to continue their journey. Mrs MacArthur had jacked up and would not get in another B17. Her Ladies in Waiting were sick of it too.
About 100 kms north of Adelaide they stopped to refuel at a place called Terowie. HRH Douglas Macarthur saw a bunch of reporters, and he swooped on them to deliver his "I Shall Return" speech. He repeated the speech at every stop between there and Tokyo!

You can't get much furniture in a B17....

Actually, I thought the same thing.
Had a look inside one at PIMA in Tucson, and thought it was amazing cramped. Maybe it was small items or stuff that could be dis-assembled.
...or maybe 'furniture' was the new code for 'ego'.
