The King or Queen of the United Kingdom is automatically Australia's Head of State. They inherit the role, from one generation of Royals to the next. They're not chosen for their ability or merit. They're not accountable to us. They don't represent us or put Australia's interests first and yet they are given an important role in Australia's Constitution. Our Head of State should be an Australian, chosen by Australians and accountable to them. This important role must be in Australian hands.

The only way to give Aussies that choice is to hold a national vote, a ‘referendum’, to change Australia’s Constitution, so that the role is held by an Australian instead of the British King or Queen. Australia's most trusted and respected citizens would be nominated for their ability and merit by Australia’s Parliaments and elected by Australians.

From neighbourhood street corners, to the steps of Federal Parliament, the campaign to have an Australian as our head of state is going from strength to strength.
