What's the Difference between a Constitutional Monarchy and a Republic?


Listen Later

Australia has a system of constitutional monarchy, but the idea of an Australian republic has been around for nearly two centuries. What is the difference between the two ideas? How does a republic work, what would the powers of the president be, and what would a republic look like for Australia?

You should also check out the interviews I did with the Australian Republic Movement and Australian Monarchist League! (coming next week. Currently available for those on Patreon)
In the mean time feel free to look at the websites for the Australian Republic Movement: https://republic.org.au/
And the Australian Monarchist League: https://www.monarchist.org.au/ to learn more about the respective movements.
