Australian constitutional law has provided since Federation in 1901 that the monarch of the United Kingdom is also the monarch of Australia.[1] The Australian monarch is generally understood to be the head of state, although regal functions are ordinarily performed by a Governor-General and state Governors. HistoryFoundationThe ARM, then known as the Australian Republican Movement, was founded on 7 July 1991.[2] Its first chairman was novelist Thomas Keneally, with other founding members including former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, former Australian cricket captain Ian Chappell, and film director Fred Schepisi. It is currently headed by journalist and author Peter FitzSimons. 1999 referendum{{main|Australian republic referendum, 1999}}The Australian republic referendum, held on 6 November 1999, was a two-question referendum to amend the Constitution of Australia. For some years opinion polls had suggested that a majority of the electorate favoured a republic.[3] Nonetheless, the republic referendum was defeated due to a range of factors, including a lack of bi-partisanship and division among republicans on the method proposed for selection of the president.[4][5] PolicyThe ARM is seeking to bring about an Australian republic through a national plebiscite on the questions:
A referendum would follow offering a choice between adopting the form of republic approved by the plebiscite or remaining a constitutional monarchy. ArgumentsThe ARM argues that Australia should replace the monarchy to become a republic with an Australian head of state. It contends that the benefits of this system are a head of state that can exclusively represent Australian interests, a system that better aligns with democratic institutions, a fully independent constitution and a head of state that can represent Australian values. Recent developmentsThe ARM currently operates staffed campaign offices in Sydney and Canberra, and has branches active in all states and territories.[6] In 2017 the Australian Labor Party announced a national vote on the republic during the first term of a future Labor government,[7] and appointed Matt Thistlethwaite as the first 'Shadow Assistant Minister for an Australian Head of State'.[8] Celebrity supporters
