I'm very much an eu fanboy and love this. I'm so sad that my dual citizenship with the UK no longer gets me EU status. I hope EU people love Australia too, though I do know of that one French Lemmy cooker who hates us with a firey passion God bless him. Fighting the good fight mate!

    As an Aussie i wish that we were closer and were invited to join in the EU itself.

    Depends on the future. Our traditional allies are turning into fascists, our comparative small size means we're not capable of going it alone.

    I personally would like ties to EU nations all things considered.

    Agreed, I still think this kind of change is decades in the making at least. The gen X one Nation crowd would never go for it and they are shaping up to be a MASSIVE voting block. I don't see it happen until we're past them.

    Edit:

    Tho with albos mandate of heaven... If only he used this unprecedented democratic mandate to actually do some proper left wing reform other than ban guns and piss off the free Palestine crowd.
