Australia could become a republic... - C_T_Russell - 02-06-2022
Perhaps this is something we should look at too?

I will become a republican when Elizabeth is no longer our Queen. But it's only because I cannot abide Camilla.

The flag referendum is suggestive that there wasn't the mood for that kind of change in New Zealand - but there has been a lot of water under the bridge since then

Perhaps at some point in the future, but I doubt it will happen until after the Queen dies. Love her or hate her, she can't be faulted for her sense of duty & sheer hard work; she's deserving of respect & so it seems unlikely any move in that direction would happen until she's gone.

I know there has been some support for the cause to become a republic, but alot feel that it would be a better time once the Queen dies. I think the monarchy is falling to bits anyway and we dont have the same connection with it as in the past.
I think if Australia breaks away, then we would likely follow suit.
