There
are a lot of good reasons for being a Monarchist in Australia.
Foremost is security. We live in a complex, changing world with some
big players with big ambitions. Our security presently is enhanced by
our unwritten treaties with the Anglo community, ie english speaking
peoples, due to our shared monarch. Cutting ourselves off from this
link, would not be replaced by actual treaties. Perhaps it is anger at
how much we sacrificed for the "mother country" a century ago
in this year of remembrance. Some people would welcome us coming under
the Imperial control of, for example the Chinese, or of an Islamic
Caliphate. We are large in area, taking up a whole continent and many
islands, but we are average size in population but far above average in
wealth. This is perhaps the most important reason to stay a Monarchy,
however it is one we would rather not think about, as we believe we live
in a fundamentally peaceful place where we will never need to rely on
powerful relations, no matter how independent we might think we have
grown to be.
