Sacking the Queen
The new Australian prime minister today declared his Republican credentials and pledged to open a debate about the future of the monarchy only hours before his first audience with the Queen.

The Australian Labour Party’s election manifesto last year stated: “Labour believes the monarchy no longer reflects either the fundamental democratic principles that underpin the Australian nation or its diversity.”
Perhaps British Labour could take a lesson.
