Interesting Facts:
Some republicans blamed the conservative and monarchist Prime Minister John Howard (elected in 1996), whose leadership certainly did not aide the republican cause. But there were other significant factors, including a split between "minimalist" republicans who wanted an Australian president to be chosen by the federal Parliament (as happens in, for example, Germany), and more "radical" republicans who wanted a directly elected President, as in the Irish Republic. Public opinion suggested that a republic would only be acceptable if a president was directly elected. Since the referendum proposal was for an indirectly elected president, many radicals opposed it. The debate since 1999 has died down, though it will probably become a topic of national importance again when Howard leaves office.
Australia's armed forces are known as the Australian Defence Force (ADF). The ADF is comprised of the Australian Army, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). All branches of the ADF have been involved in UN and regional peacekeeping, disaster relief, and armed confilct including the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The Chief of the Defence Force is appointed by the Prime Minister from one of the armed services. The current Chief of the Defence Force is General Peter Cosgrove. In 2005-06 Australian Defence budget is $17.5 billion.
