About this episode
If, over the weekend, you watched the coronation of King Charles, stood up in your living room and read out a pledge of allegiance – you were probably in the minority of Australians.
But that was the invitation from the palace in the lead-up to Saturday evening’s coronation ceremony.
So, how relevant is King Charles III? Is a republic now possible? And how quickly could another referendum be upon us?
Today, co-chair of the Australian Republican Movement and human rights activist Craig Foster on the coronation, Anthony Albanese’s decision to attend and the path to a republic.
