  2. The Republic of Great Britain? - Rear Vision - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    It’s been a while since the idea of becoming a republic has been at the forefront of public debate in Australia; even the election of a Federal Labor government in 2007 didn’t revive it. So I was surprised to discover on a recent trip to London that a British organisation called Republic was holding a conference. While Republic is only a small group, I thought it was a good opportunity to find out just how much debate there is in Britain over the role of the monarchy and its future.

    Rear Vision looks at the short history of the modern British monarchy and the small but passionate debate over its future.
