Australia could become a republic...

The flag referendum is suggestive that there wasn't the mood for that kind of change in New Zealand - but there has been a lot of water under the bridge since then

I got the impression that most of NZ thought a flag change was a wast of time and money and at the time no point while we are still under British rule.
I know there has been some support for the cause to become a republic, but alot feel that it would be a better time once the Queen dies. I think the monarchy is falling to bits anyway and we dont have the same connection with it as in the past.
I think if Australia breaks away, then we would likely follow suit.
