: The relationship between Australia, and the
: United Kingdom will not change, when
: Australia changes its constitution, and
: flag.

The relationship is always changing in significant and subtle ways, but I agree, I don't think changes to our constitution or flag will make a huge difference.

The jury's still out, but it is possible that the most significant change to our relationship with the UK, in the short to medium term, will come in the wake of Brexit.

: The relationship between the UK, and its
: former New England colonies remains robust.

Some more 'robust' than others!
