Anthony Albanese says now is not the time to discuss republic
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says today is not the time to consider whether Australia should become a republic.
Speaking to Neil Mitchell the morning, the Prime Minister said “today is not the day to talk about” the republic debate.
“Today is a day for one issue, and one issue only, which is to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II and to give our thanks for her service to our country, to the commonwealth, to her family and her extraordinary contribution to our nation,” he said.
