If Australia finally cut ties to the tiara and became a republic, what would the first address by our first president sound like? Lend an ear to speculative speeches from Father Rod Bower, Marcia Langton, Nakkiah Lui, Omar Musa and Matt Preston. Hosted by Michael Williams.

This event is part of the Melbourne Writer's Festival and is supported by the Australian Republic Movement.
