We need a republican vision for Australia that stands in opposition to the archaic constitutional monarchy we have today.
Garry Shead,Knighting the Ram, 1997-98
In the 1990s we were offered a very trimmed down version of republicanism by Malcolm Turnbull and Paul Keating. Their minimalist republic limited the vision of an Australian republic to the nationality of a head of state.
Such a republic had nothing to say about the Aboriginal people.
