Remember the referendum on the Aussie Head of State? Polls said the majority wanted to change to a republic, so the government phrased the question: "To alter the Constitution to establish the Commonwealth of Australia as a republic with the Queen and Governor-General being replaced by a <B>President appointed by a two-thirds majority of the members of the Commonwealth Parliament</B>."<BR/><BR/>The polls had also shown that we didn't want the government giving the job to one of their mates, so they added that bit to the question knowing we'd vote against it.<BR/><BR/>John Bloody Howard could then lie that "the people voted against a republic".Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-44032517931152168642009-04-06T16:02:00.000+04:002009-04-06T16:02:00.000+04:00Who will win the forthcoming Ashes Cricket Series?...Who will win the forthcoming Ashes Cricket Series?
