A Republican Manifesto

This treatise calls for all Australians to throw off the last of their colonial shackles.

Providing a powerful case for the Australian republic and a full plan for the new constitution, the author argues that Australia should cease to rely on Britain to provide its head of state.

The author favours a republic that will preserve the existing system of government, but be controlled by a constitution that is a true democratic charter - unlike the present one.

His work examines the problems of how to elect a president and how to define the president's power, and offers its own distinctive solutions.
