The Sydney Morning Herald is now endorsing our Monarchy.


"The Queen has outlasted and exhausted the republican movement in Australia. The polls show that support for a republic is fading, not growing. The more young people see the way politics is devolving, the less they will want to install another layer of elected politics and all the egoism, fund-raising, electioneering and public expense that a presidential system would produce.

"The republican movement failed because it has never offered a better system than the one that has served Australia unobtrusively and well for more than a century. It also failed because it became infected by a sneering negativity that has poisoned that well for a generation."


BUT, The Age is persisting with their moaning and yearning for a Republic:

"How does a country as big and successful as Australia still find itself so cravenly tied to a monarchy that prevents one of our own from being head of state?"

 They are still missing the point about the Governor General being our 'head of state', it gets worse:

"And why does a dynamic multicultural country that is perfectly located on the cusp of the Asian century have the Union Jack in the corner of its flag?"
What do they want?  The Chinese, Communist symbol on our flag?
Gradually people are learning, but it is still taking time.
