Listen Later

5 Nov, 1999.  It's the day before the public vote on The Australian republic referendum. It's a two-question referendum to amend the Constitution of Australia. The first question asks whether Australia should become a republic with a President appointed by Parliament.  The second question asked whether Australia should alter the Constitution to insert a preamble. 
Now, on the eve of the referendum, former political opponents and Prime Ministers in their own rights Gough Whitlam and Malcom Fraser join forces to urge the nation to vote for a republic.  Listen here for edited highlights of their speeches.
