The Republic of Australia? Time (Overdue) for the Island Nation to Shed the Royals

The phrase has a great ring to it – and it’s long overdue. The movement to create a Republic of Australia just got a boost recently. Almost all the premiers (7 out of 8) of Australia’s states and territories signed a declaration affirming their belief and desire that Australia’s type of Government should be changed from a constitutional monarchy to a republic.

As it stands, Australia’s Head of Government is the Governor General, a representative of British Queen Elizabeth. Although Australia considers itself young, proud and free, it is still saddled and burdened with an archaic governmental structure that allows a foreigner to be the supreme Head of State. This goes against the obvious principles of freedom and self-determination by disallowing any Australian to fulfill this role. A Republic of Australia would change all that.
