Secession- any in favour?

[Godwin Fot]

Just wondering if secessionism is still in some people's hearts and minds?

West Australia was pretty keen on the idea in the 1930's, Joh Bjelke- Peterson aired it a few times and Tasmania has had the odd flirtation with 'independence'.

If anyone was to secede then Tassie would seem the logical choice as there is no physical or mapped border with another state.

Or would any of the other 3 states be interested?

 

[Moo]

I am an Australian, and would not be interested in secession at all (even though, for the record, the Begbie would kick the Oz dollar's arse)

yep, would vote for it.............but retain strong ties. Bit Like NZ.

Considering WA wants to be so different from the rest of Australia, I think it will be a good idea.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

I'd be in favour for WA if it ever got off the ground.

Fevola4...Don't ask for what you may not understand! Our "civil war" lasted four years, 1861-1865, and cost approximately 600,000 lives! A staggering number of casualties; injuries from the four years of strife were unknown. Indeed, the current War on Iraq has cost 2,300 lives of Americans; during the American Civil War more than that number fell in ten minutes at the Battle of Cold Harbor in 1864 near Richmond in Virginia. 30,000 men fell in a single day's fight at Antietam in Maryland in 1862. Thousands died before they ever got to the battlefield from myriad diseases.

Don't ever say you want a civil war; no war is more destructive.

I'm well aware of that period of American history thanks. I was making an ironic joke.
