Statement
Australia should become a Republic retaining the Westminister Parliamentary System.
Our Australian Constitution which enshrines our democratic rights should only be minimally amended to establish a democratic process to elect an Australian born Head of State and sever all Constitutional links with the Crown and the United Kingdom.
