Policy
The ARM seeks to bring about an Australian republic through two plebiscites and a referendum, providing the population direct input to any decision on a republic.
They propose a three-stage process:
- A non-binding plebiscite on the threshold question of do you want Australia to become a republic with an Australian Head of State?
- A second plebiscite on the form of a republic including the selection method (following the full development of forms of a republic, including the selection method, by experts).
- A referendum offering a choice between adopting the form of republic approved by the second plebiscite or remaining a constitutional monarchy.
