Australia needs a head of state that supports Australia at sport

[ultraprime2]

Australia should totally become a republic.

[BorsBaledwyr]

Republicanism....what a waste of time and money.

[rosana1150]

What Australia needs is to become a republic, and leave these pirates behind.

[MrMaffew87]

lol let's face it australia will never host the fifa world cup because we don't have the proper stadiums nor the facilities to support it. We're not that much of a footballing nation either seeing that everybody follows the rugger or the afl.

It's kinda funny that this video is taking aim at prince william of being head of the english football association and saying that australia needs to become a republic because of that reason........wake up goose!!!

[alip2310]

we dominate the commonwealth games anyway so.... meh

[yourLoyalBaron]

Yeah tear up your constitution. Set a precedent for changing the constitution on future whims. And why? As this video states: because Prince William is a fan of England football! I suppose if Barack Obama liked Brazilian football they should burn down the White House!

[broadband01]

this is one of the saddest videos ive seen ,you want to get rid because he supported england instead of australia,,hows about a bit of gratitude,for laying the foundations of australia as a nation,ungrateful twats

[Dimitri0809]

@broadband01

Actually technically we laid the foundations because we accepted the foundations, we could of wrote our own constitution a long time ago.

[theheretic999]

This is the best reason (the only reason?) Ive heard of for a republic. So that our head of state can go for our sporting teams.

Pretty pathetic tbh. Our British heritage is what has made us the best country in the world, being against the monarchy is a sort of self-loathing...another attempt to deny who we are and our place in the world.

[JoezettE88]

@theheretic999

Australian "culture" can't seem to exist without the ENGLISH queen...what's going to happen when they finally get rid of her and join the EU though?

[irishgodfatherchris]

@JoezettE88 The UK joined what became the EU in 1973

[ZARIYL]

Why not do the best thing anbd merge Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the UK into one Nation? hen you's have a Head of STate thats not shared.

[rosana1150]

Of course he supports England, what´s wrong with that? That commonwealth thing is so ridiculous. When are you going to be completely independent?

[davosz]

couldn't agree with you more -- he should support england as he is english and australians should have a head of state that is australian.

[CMFrenchEsq]

@davosz if the Commonwealth 'thing' is so ridiculous how come countries like South Africa and India who are now republics remain members. Its great to have an organization where independent nations with shared language and history can get together and debate on an equal footing the global issues which transcend national boundaries and Australia has arguably been completely

[DrDerpwerth]

@davosz He is German, not English. The Royal family are 100% German decendant.

[CMFrenchEsq]

@rosana1150 If the Commonwealth 'thing' is so ridiculous how come countries like South Africa and India who are now republics remain members. Its great to have an organization where independent nations with shared language and history can get together and debate on an equal footing the global issues which transcend national boundaries and Australia has arguably been completely independent since 1st January 1901 or at least the 1980s when the privy council appeals were abolished.

[rosana1150]

@CMFrenchEsq Are you kidding? Why they remain members?there must be some kind of reward in exchange. They are not members because they want, they all wanted to become independent. They have been COLONIZED. Does an english know what that means?

[CMFrenchEsq]

@rosana1150 No I am not kidding, as sovereign independent states they can decide whether they want to belong or not and they are hardly forced to be members with bribes. England has a long history of being colonized itself anglo-saxon, Normandy's, Romans etc. Sure British colonization has its problems but it was essentially a force for the betterment of humankind and decolonization has hardly been great for most nations economically except for Singapore and Hong Kong.

[MrMaffew87]

@rosana1150 australia is completely independent the commonwealth of nations is just an organization. But we're part of the commonwealth realms which is made up of 16 independent sovereign nations that share's the same monarchical figurehead that represents our freedom and democracy. 

[TheLiberalKnight]

@rosana1150 LOL, trust an Argetinian to be angry at the British commonwealth, just because we utterly kicked your ASS in the 1980s

[rosana1150]

@TheLiberalKnight You kicked everybody´s ass. That´s how you survived and became an empire, stealing, killing, robbing. making war. It speaks a lot about you if you are proud of that. And I´m not angry. I do not waste my money in those puppets you call " a royal family". But many people living in the commonwealth are. Btw, you are so rude and disgusting. Good bye!!

[TheLiberalKnight]

@rosana1150 Stealing, killing robbing, making war. Any proof of that? I thought not.

We didn't become wealth of other nation's money. Have you ever heard of the industrial revolution, idiot?

Secondly, what exactly are these massacres that the British committed? Again, you will fail to present proof, because you're making it up. Robbing?

I support democracy over dictatorship. We owned Argentinia's dictatorship. The falkland islands are ours- they were uninhabited when we took them.

[rosana1150]

@TheLiberalKnight READ HISTORY IGNORANT PIG!!.I,m not here to teach you.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@rosana1150 Ha ha ha, this always happens with idiots like you. You admit defeat, then. You can't tell me a single massacre committed by the British empire, so you tell me to read history as if it's obvious.

[rosana1150]

@TheLiberalKnight I see that IDIOT comes to your mouth very often. You are such a disgusting, ignorant bastard!!. Find out about the several attempts to invade Buenos Aires, about Guyana, about the many colonies in Africa and Asia, about Hong Kong, India!!! And in your pea brain you think this was not carried out with massacres??? What the hell you think an invasion is!!! How the hell do you build an empire? You are the worst cum in the world. STILL.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@rosana1150 Come on, you still aren't specifying any massacres. Come on, spit it out.

[rosana1150]

@TheLiberalKnight You are 8 years old arent´you? I´ll waste my time in something more productive than someone who seems to not have finished school.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@rosana1150 Very well. I win. You have failed to present proof, therefore you are wrong.

[rosana1150]

@TheLiberalKnight No, you only won one thing: that you showed everyone here you are an IGNORANT, that you do not know even your onw history. And that you are proud that your country has killed and invaded many territories throughout the world. THAT I don´t have to proof, that is in the books.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@rosana1150 No, I've won the argument. You still haven't told me a single massacre committed by the British empire. COME ON, I'm waiting! :-D

[rosana1150]

@TheLiberalKnight WHICH ARGUMENT ASSHOLE!!! You do not have an argument for the stupidity of your words, it is only NONSENSE!! Your country has KILLED INNOCENTS in every invasion they have carried out!!! Can your pea brain get that?? Is it not kiling enough for you? And why have you always tried to conquer and indave and take whayt is not yours? BECAUSE YOU ARE A NATION OF ARROGANS BASTARDS WHO DESPISE EVERYONE ELSE. No wonder some what to throu a bomb in you ass!!

[TheLiberalKnight]

@rosana1150 This is absoloutely hilarious! :-D

I ask you to name me a single massacre that the British committed, you can't do it, so you get angry at me!

Calm the fuck down, and name me a single massacre :-)

[rosana1150]

@TheLiberalKnight You definitely are 8 years old or retarded. And my time is too precious to have a n idiotic discusion with someone who thinks killing innocent unarmed people to colonioze them is not a massacre.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@rosana1150 So, you say we killed innocent unarmed people to colonize their countries. Right- can you give me an example? :-)

[tglaz1]

@TheLiberalKnight LOL

[TheLiberalKnight]

@tglaz1 I'm dead serious. Give me a single example. Once you realise you can't find any examples, you'll understand that the bullshit presumptions you'd made before are complete bollocks.

[tglaz1]

@TheLiberalKnight How 'bout burrying Australian Aboriginal children at neck height in the sand then kicking of their heads to see who can get it the furthest?

[TheLiberalKnight]

@tglaz1 Oh really? Where is your proof? :-)

Besides, even if they did, Britain cannot be blamed for it, because the colonists did whatever they wanted, they were sent to colonize parts of the world and the army was mostly absent therefore order could not be maintained.

[davosz]

The "most integral" part of Australia resides 10,000 miles away in a foriegn country? The fact the Prince William is coming to Australia -- the first time he has come to Australia since he was in nappies -- says it all, yes. It says he will jet in, have a fun time at the Australian taxpayers expenses, visiting only Sydney and Melbourne, because the rest of the country doesn't count, smile for the cameras and then get the hell out of the place before he can ever even find out what makes us tick.

[JMLAUS]

What a ridiculous and amateur video. If you care to open your eyes you will see Australia is one of the greatest countries on Earth and the Crown is the most integral part of it. It keeps people like Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnball dictating over us. I think the fact that Prince William is coming to Australia in January to get to know the Australia people says it all.

[BipedalHumanoid]

Idiotic jingoism tied into a fallacious argument.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Let me dumb that down for you... Correlation does not mean Causation.

The monarchy has nothing to do with Australia's success as a nation. This nation was built by Australian people.

Bring on the next referendum!

[JoezettE88]

@JMLAUS

You need more than a handful of days "to get to know us".
