Allison Henry, National Director of the ARM, speaks at The Sydney Institute about Prince Charles’ visit. She contends that Charles knows and has known for some time that Australia’s “borrowed monarchy” has worn out its welcome, referring to remarks that he made about Australia’s apparent preference for a republic on his last visit in 1994. She thinks that swinging voters stick with the Queen but will vote republican when they contemplate King Charles III on the English throne. An extract of her speech was published in The Age.
