not belonging to anyone future generation independence
aboriginal, colonisers, true owners
diversity from britain, australian identity
Australia has been considered part of the British Empire ever since Captain Cook set foot upon the sandy plains. However, we're talking about the needs of our 21st century generations. Do they need the monarchy? With the range of migrants, cultures and individual Australian identity we've all adopted I think we're more than ready to break about and become our own country. We never have been like and never will need Britain-and I'm sure the Aboriginal community, with their own land stolen by the monarchy, will indefinitely agree. Let's make Australia Australia again. Let's leave behind the days of the monarchy.
Making monarchy a thing of the past has deep positive influences on both our society and future ones. We're not 'owned' by anyone. We're not part of a bigger plan, a country 'higher' than us. We stand independently and strongly. This gives Australian citizens a sense of pride at not being owned by another country. It also gives them freedom of choice-we can now make decisions on laws, government or anything else to suit our own needs and not those of the British Monarchy. After all, no one likes being subservient to another country especially when we are much more capable than them.
One community that has experience with being subordinates to others would undoubtedly be the Aboriginal community. And their oppression was indeed a result of the Monarchy's influence, so supporting the monarchy would be supporting years of non-stop suffering and pain to Australia's true owners. Isn't it time that we give them back ownership of their own land? After all the murders, the sick tortures and even the segregation of children from parents all the colonisers have done is mustered a mere 'sorry'. If the monarchy is capable of stealing land and destroying almost a whole race, it is capable of doing what it knows is right and giving back that ownership.
Having aboriginal communities also sets us apart from Britain. In fact, there is so much disparity between the two countries you wonder why they're even associated with each other. The two country have different landscapes, accents, diversity of migrants and just general viewpoints! In fact, they're on opposite sides of the world. Having such different identies means that we don't need their influence when we're already paving our pathways. So it's not moral to have the Monarchy be in control of such a different country, but it's not even logical too.
We're the biggest isolated country on Earth. In the ocean, on our own, relying on ourselves and the only land that we have to support us. So it makes no sense for a small country like Britain to have such power over us! Diversity, independence, Aussie pride and the rightful apology the Aborigines deserve all starts with breaking free. We've never been more ready, Australia. It's time to go our own way.
