I read this article
i dont see australians embracing it any time soon
especially the older generations (and within the next 5 years 20% of the population of OZ will be over 60)

the oldies here are monarchists
the middle aged are a mix if monarchists and republicans

i think the majority of ppl wanting to become a US state would be under 25 - and believe it will make Australai like hollywood.

Sure there would be a LOT of benefits to becoming part of the US
but there are more reasons not too
the first big reason:

we're situated within Asia
our closest neighbouring country is made up of 60million + muslims
- talk to anyone living in the far far north of australia and they'll tell you about the "armys" that are bing formed ready for an invasion
Nobody in Australia wants to piss Indonesia off
there's a lot of Anti US sentiment amongst Muslim communties right now - and in Indonesia this is very evident from the Bali Bombings
if Australia were the 51st state - we'd be even more of a target

Right now people in the city I live in are in fear that the US will go to war with North Korea and that Australia will be involved.
If that happens - this city is the first on the Nuke List in Australia because we are a US naval port - and a strategic port of US operations within Asia and the Pacific
Australian soldiers in recent times have always acted as peace keepers under UN direction
this is what the public wanted during Iraq - the majority of the public were against Australia playing an active role in the attacks

I see more Australians calling for a rebulic in light of the recent events in Iraq and the possibilites of wars closer to home in near future.
