Currently in the community there is debate over whether or not Australia should become a republic.

On one side of the issue, many citizens believe the President would become Australia's head of state and would replace the Queen and the Governor-General.

On the other hand, other people argue that Australians still won't decide who the president will be, so they want to keep the monarchy.

However, some Aystralian citizens think that it's time to have an Australian head of state.

Nevertheless, the Queen has been the head of state for many years, so quite a few people don't want to change.

In spite of this, some Australian citizens are saying that Australia should become more independent.

Although many citizens believe that the proposed model adds nothing to the independence that Australia alredy has.

Many other voters say Australia can change the emblems to get the Queen off them, so they want a republic.

On the opposite side, some Australians believe that the mystical power of the monarichal symbol is strong and sincerely, so they do not want a republic.

In contrast to this, many Australians say that they will bwe proud for not having a Queen who also rules other countries.

This differs from other Australian people who don't want our proven constitution to be replaced by any experiment.

Many people have argued that the idea of hereditary power offends Australia's egalitarian spirit, so they want a republic.

Many people on the other side say that there will be no benefits, only problems, so why change what is working.

After carefully considering both sides of the question, I recommend that the people should vote "Yes" for Australia to become a republic.
