I don't think Australian's at the time voted down the concept of a Republic, they (and me) voted down the way it was proposed in that planned to fail referendum. I think the Question should have simply been

The question was asked whether or not Australia should become a republic, and was simple, and as stated before, the majority said NO.

We don't see why some people want Australia to become a republic.

but the question is more commonly a political decoy, intended to cause an uproar big enough to hide whatever other embarrassing problem the asker of the question is responsible for.

Maybe the governor general (deliberate non caps) is trying to hide a story on Seven's Sunday Night, after seeing a promo for the show, see the official promo: http://au.news.yahoo.com/sunday-night/video/watch/19929974/preview-hostie-or-hitman

But I think I may know why the governor general said what she said, and that is to possibly hide a story Seven's Sunday Night, after seeing a promo for the show, see the official promo: [size=2]http://au.news.yahoo.com/sunday-night/video/watch/19929974/preview-hostie-or-hitman[/size].
