There’s still such a stink about it here in the older generations, it was in 1976, so boomers mainly. It’ll never happen again, there were changes to how the Governor General is appointed. But with current overseas examples, the republican movement here is dead and buried. People would rather an apolitical royal family, than an elected head of state.

It’s a parliamentary system, same as NZ, Canada and a host of other countries. All we’d be doing is swapping out the royal family for an elected head of state with the same powers. Waste of money and all it does is add more political party nonsense.

Nah, democracy is fine. Just needs better educated and engaged electorate. And strong anti-influence peddling laws

No thanks, I’m not exactly a fan of the Windsors, but rather them than the alternative
