Re:Australia say NO to a repulbic, we need guidenc (Score 1)

I am also Australian and I think we do not need to change our constitution. Would you trust current politicians to rewrite your constitution? We are not gauranteed that things like the right of free speech or free assembly, habeus corpus and other inalienable rights gauranteed by the current constitution will be imported into the new. We haven't even been given a say in how we want our new republic to be. Our choice is do you want a republic with the president elected by the parliment. Not, do you want a republic or not. This is why australia will vote against being a republic, because the people want to have our say in the way our country will be run in the future.
