In this case, I'm amazed saying "Australia is a republic" isn't being counted as simple vandalism. Repeatedly putting in misleading and plainly factually incorrect information certainly counted as vandalism when User:Michael was going hogwild at it.
Tsk tsk, David. Respect the process. You must leave the erroneous information in, and attempt to reason with the inserter on the Talk: page. People who revert are simply thinking like an "edit warrior". I'm sure the postings on this list, including those from the person promoting the "Australia is a republic" idea itself, have made it quite clear that a few well-chosen words in Talk: will have the person promoting the idea that "Australia is a republic" repudiating his views and voluntarily reverting his contributions in no time at all.
