Sycamore, ever heard of a person called Pauline Hanson?
A blantantly racist poltician who has had a series of triumphs and falls in Australian poltics over the last couple of years. Most of her supporters are in Queensland. Also the only state to still allow mass logging.
And yes you were right on the Republic Choices there. The majority wanted a referendum, and if i rmember correctly it was quite clsoe, but inside the republic movement there was much dissent over the exact system which is why i siad what i said above. It was lost over what type of republic, not whether to have one.
