First Target - Malcolm Turnbull

It worries me that the former head of the Australian Republican Movement is now the leader of the opposition. He is now charged with the responsibility of providing an alternate viewpoint to our social engineer government. Given that his cause de jour prior to entering representative politics was the formation of an Australian Republic, and our current government’s enthusiasm to discard the inherently separated nature of our head of state and legislature, who now is the voice of the majority of Australians who rejected this very issue in referendum in 1999?

Update I

Turnbull claims that he will not support a new referendum until the reign of the current monarch is ended. Her Majesty is now the oldest reigning British monarch ever. How long do we have before an Australian public, gullible enough to elect Comrade Kev, will again have this issue forced upon them with all of the requisite emotive symbolism they seem so keen to embrace?
