I wouldn't vote for Republic, it'd be a waste of time and money, and we'd have to vote for a President, and it would get all politicized and silly. I would like to see the PM having less influence on the nomination of a Governer General, but otherwise I don't mind the current system.

The Royal Family may be British, but they are kinda cool in a quaint sort of way. I mean, they're not costing us anything to maintain them, so whats the big deal?

As for the flag, I'd only favour changing it if they were going to replace the Union Jack with the aboriginal flag, as someone suggested. But I'm pretty sure that the designer of the aboriginal flag was a bit hesitant to agree to add it to the Aussie flag, as it had been designed as something uniquely aboriginal, or something along those lines. So meh.
