Republic Closing In On NZ
Australia's election result a few days ago with Anthony Albanese the new PM opens the door wide open for Australia becoming a republic in a couple of years or so.
Albanese has semi-promised a referendum on the matter of Australia remaining under the British crown or becoming a republic with a president as head of its constitution.
Albanese has also a referendum in mind of giving the Aborigines special rights ( something along Maori rights here) as a people who have lived in and "owned" Australia for at least 65 thousand years. And this might take preference over declaring Australia a republic by referendum.
All this means for NZ is kicking our approach into gear on the state of NZ as potentially a republic also. Both sides of our main political parties have strong supporters of such a move but especially the Labour Government. And the connection/relationship between Ardern and Ablanese will likely be close and comfortable and active.
I don't think Australia or NZ really want to be a royalist country under the banner of a King Charles and Queen Camilla.
