The 1999 model was complex. Kerry Jones for the "no" case: If you vote yes to this question, you are really supporting complex constitutional change. Our 'no' case is supported by eminent constitutional lawyers from across Australia who consistently have stated and written that not only is it complex constitutional change, it is change that would weaken the working democracy here in Australia as we know it. Clearly this is a fundamentally flawed republic on offer, it is half-baked, it was hobbled and nobbled and cobbled together at the Constitutional Convention through the wheels and deals of the politicians.

Judging by the results, the people agreed with Kerry Jones.

In point of fact, the referendum included far more amendments than any other proposed alteration. The complicated nomination and appointment process attracted particular criticism. Skyring 01:05, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That is your opinion, and cannot be stated as a fact. I found the proposed changes perfectly simple, but that is my opinion, and I wouldn't insert it in the article. Adam 01:17, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It's actually Kerry Jones' opinion. Skyring 01:40, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Then state it as such. Adam 01:59, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I did. See the quote? Skyring 02:49, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I mean in the article, idiot. Adam 03:06, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Charmed. I wanted to see what the reasoning was behind your edit. I don't particularly care that much. Skyring 03:53, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I'm sick of your stupid word games and I now intend treating you as a malicious editor. So get used to it. Adam 04:19, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
