	Republicanism in Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Republicanism in Australia is the movement to change Australia's status as a Commonwealth realm under a constitutional monarchy to a republican form of government as a Commonwealth republic.
		The Australian Republican Association was founded in response, advocating the abolition of Governors, and their titles; the revision of the penal code; payment of members of Parliament; nationalisation of land; and an independent federal Australian republic outside of the Empire.
		In 1986, the Australia Act was enacted with the United Kingdom to eliminate the remaining, mainly theoretical, ties between the legislature and judiciary of the two countries.

	Australia
		The Commonwealth of Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world (geographically), the only one to occupy an entire continent, and the largest in the region of Australasia.
		Australia is thought to have been inhabited for at least 60,000 years, since the remote ancestors of the current Australian Aborigines arrived via land bridges from present-day Southeast Asia.
		The first English explorers were Willem Dampier on the west coast of the continent in 1688, and James Cook, who in 1770 claimed the eastern two-thirds of the continent for Britain, despite orders from King George III to first conclude a treaty with the indigenous population.

	Republicanism
		Republicanism in Australia, one of the three "old dominions"(25) has owed more to changing perceptions of national identity (and Irish nationalism), than did the movement in Great Britain,(26) where indeed the Crown was often regarded (particularly when threatened by external aggressors) as symbolic of an historic national identity.(27)
		Although the focus of much republican sentiment was symbolism, there was also an important undercurrent of republican constitutionalism.(55) The dismissal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam’s Labour government by the Governor-General in 1975 revealed, in the view of Reynolds, that "representative government in Australia was an empty gesture when confronted with viceroy sovereignty".
		The republican tradition in Australia was grounded in nationalism, a degree of Irish republicanism (which saw the Crown as symbolic of British oppression(175)), and a smaller degree of doctrinaire republicanism, whose advocates saw hereditary authority, however attenuated, as inimical to democracy.

	Australian Parliamentary Library - 1995-96 Research Paper 31
		The republican debate in Australia has been most intense in the 1990s and, as the 2000 Olympics and the centenary of federation approach, there is every reason and many a pretext for examining Australia's constitutional history and national symbols.
		The most common image of republicanism in Australia is one inspired by a predominantly nationalist, socialist and Labor led historical legacy and this is sometimes misconceived as the only model of republicanism that has had much bearing on Australia's past.
		To grasp the English republican model we have to be prepared to accept that the non-monarchical concept of a republic is only one of the understandings of republicanism which have played a formative role in the development of our political institutions.

		She contends that the nation is in a state of ‘transition’ and ‘consolidation’ and the Anglo-Celtic core must continue to function as a ‘holding’ centre for ‘an emerging and newly diverse Australia’ (1999, p.
		It perpetuates the idea that Australia is made up of a national culture often referred to as the ‘core’ Anglo-Celtic culture and a ‘periphery’ of other ethnic cultures.
		Freedom is central to republican citizenship, as are social solidarity, political participation, and moral outrage.

	CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION - Thursday, 5 February 1998 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		If the method of removal of the head of state is by either a special majority at a joint sitting of parliament or by the people, the head of state may be, effectively, undismissible in circumstances in which he or she refuses to act on government advice.
		A head of state elected by the people could decide that he or she is bound to act contrary to advice in circumstances where he or she perceives it to be against the interests of the people: for example, by refusing to assent to legislation.
		It is for this reason that there must be a mechanism in a republican Constitution to ensure the prompt dismissal of a head of state who acts to obstruct or collude with a government to subvert the democratic process.

	Republicanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Republicanism is the ideology of governing a nation as a republic, with an emphasis on Liberty and ruled by the people.
		These Polish republicans such as Lukasz Gornicki, Andrzej Wolan, and Stanislaw Konarski were well read in classical and Renaissance texts and firmly believed that their state was a Republic on the Roman model and called their state the Rzeczpospolita.
		All republicans rejected inherited elites and aristocracies, but the question was open whether the republic, in order to restrain unchecked majority rule, should have an unelected upper chamber, the members perhaps appointed meritorious experts, or should have a constitutional monarch.

	Flag of Australia
		Some Australians dislike the presence of the Union Jack on the current flag, and its very close similarity to the flag of New Zealand[?] has also posed practical problems on occasion.
		However, the flag retains majority support for the moment and debate on the matter is unlikely to resume seriously until after the issue of republicanism in Australia is resolved definitively one way or the other.
		The Red Ensign is used by Australian merchant ships, and there is also a white Naval Ensign and a light blue Air Force Ensign.

	Libertarian individuals in Australian republicanism - On Line Opinion - 9/8/2005
		Vosper was a purist, believing republicanism was an expression of the civic individual, and not subservient to factional politics or religion.
		The Australian Republican newspaper only lasted 14 months, and with the shearers focusing on establishing Labor as a political party, and as a voice for their individual and political rights, the notion of an Australian or Queensland republic was not pursued.
		Australian republicans maintained an individualistic streak, not collapsing their belief in the superiority of a republican form of government, and the precedence of individual and political rights into a popular political movement.

		Australia has no hope of joining the bloc; ASEAN even refused to let it be an observer at conferences.

		This book, the first comprehensive history of republican thought and activity in Australia, traces debate around an Australian republic from 1788 to the present.
		It explains the pivotal role played by republican philosophies in the decades before responsible government was granted to the Australian colonies in 1856 and up to Federation in 1901.
		Controversial in many ways, The Captive Republic shows that republicanism has not necessarily been a minor force in Australia's political history and illustrates the striking similarities between the arguments of both republicans and monarchists in the 1990s and those which existed 150 years ago.
