Target: Prime Minister of Australia, Members of Parliament, and the Constitutional Reform Committee
Goal: We call on the Australian Government to initiate comprehensive constitutional reform, empower local communities, and begin the transition to a democratic republic, free from arbitrary foreign and monarchical interference.
Australia's political system is at risk from both internal and external threats to its democratic integrity. The growing influence of coercive foreign powers, particularly a more unilateral and unpredictable United States, exposes the vulnerabilities of our current constitutional monarchy. The reserve powers of the governor-general, a relic of colonial rule, continue to undermine the separation of powers and democratic accountability.
Recent history has shown that symbolic change is not enough. The failed 1999 republic referendum and the rejection of the Voice to Parliament in 2023 highlight the need for a new approach—one that centers real power in the hands of the people and their communities.
We must act now to:
- End the arbitrary authority of the Crown over Australian political affairs.
- Empower local communities through meaningful structural reform.
- Strengthen our democratic institutions against foreign and domestic interference.
- Redefine our national identity, including changing the flag and establishing an Australian head of state.
As global alliances shift, Australia must not be beholden to the whims of foreign leaders or outdated imperial ties. We urge the government to begin a process of inclusive, participatory constitutional reform, paving the way for a truly independent and democratic republic.
Key Demands
- Initiate a national process for constitutional reform to transition Australia to a republic with an Australian head of state.
- Abolish the reserve powers of the governor-general and ensure all executive authority is democratically accountable.
- Empower local communities through structural reforms that decentralize power and increase civic participation.
- Redesign the Australian flag to reflect our independent identity, free from colonial symbols.
- Strengthen protections against foreign interference in Australian political and economic affairs.
- Promote international alliances based on mutual respect, democracy, and sovereignty, rather than subservience to any foreign power.
