The Future The Australian Monarchist League is fully aware that the current Federal Government has, as a part of its agenda, the implementation of constitutional change. We acknowledge that debate is a part of our democracy and consequently have no objection whatsoever, provided the questions put forward are fair and not ambiguous. We are of the opinion that questions such as 'Do you want to have an Australian as Head of State', although sounding good, are absolutely meaningless and give no indication of any proposal for serious constitutional change. In any event under our system, it is the Head of Government, the Prime Minister, who makes the final decisions, backed by his Cabinet. To have the sort of 'Australian as Head of State' being lightly bandied about would only complicate and even frustrate our structure of governance, whereas, under our current system of Constitutional Monarchy, the Governor-General plays no part whatsoever in party politics, His job is to represent The Crown, which is vested in the people, and to ensure that the provisions of the Constitution are adhered to. As well as providing a platform for open debate, the Australian Monarchist League seeks to publish informative documents about our Constitution and how it came about. We believe that our system of Constitutional Monarchy, although far from perfect, is the best - and indeed the most modern - system yet devised. By limiting the ambitions and greed of our politicians, has it not made our nation of Australia a truly great country in which to live? back to top of page |
