I'm apathetic about the whole issue, but if it was put to a vote I'd probably side with the Republic. I guess, it just seems like an exercise in pointlessness to have a head of state which we don't really care about. I haven't really looked into how it would affect our government though.

It's not the same thing, but Governor Generals have some pretty absurd powers. Take the Whitlam affair, our elected Prime Minister was dismissed by someone whose position was not at all democratically decided.
