Lose Queens Birthday, get Independence Day
That's already a Public Holiday.

Get our own flag for a start
That’s a benefit is it?
Personally Ive never been a fan of having another countries flag on ours
Well I guess that where you and I differ (not problem with that) but I couldn't care less if the Union Jack is on the Australian flag. Like it or Loathe it our history is, we were colonized by the British. It's a fact.
It's flag, its a symbol, that's all. Bit like the national anthem, I not that fussed what it is, again its symbolic. Just like the Queen is our HOS (well the Governor General is I think, technically as the queens representative) again - symbolic or ceremonial duties only.
Ask any average American, Indian, Frenchman.... they see Australia as a country unto itself, and while we have colonial roots.... we really don't dance to the tune of the queen.
As best as I can see the whole Republican debate, is a waste of money.... what would change (flag, anthem, HOS) aside... and what difference would that make to the average Australian, and importantly how Australia is viewed on the world stage?
