This is what Julia Gillard says about the Republic in her lengthy WW interview: “I am a republican. It’s a continuing debate. I think the debate has cooled. I get a sense that the next time the nation will really think its way through all of this is when Queen Elizabeth passes.” [Julia ‘I made my choices’ by Bryce Corbett, Australian Women’s Weekly, August 2010, pp44-56]
