The idea of an Australian republic has existed from the moment the
First Fleet sailed into Sydney Harbour. This book is a
comprehensive history of republican thought and activity in
Australia and traces republican debate in Australia from 1788. It
explains the pivotal role played by republican philosophies in the
decades before responsible government was granted to the Australian
colonies in 1856 and prior to federation in 1901. Mark McKenna also
describes the often erratic appearance of republicanism during the
twentieth century, focusing in particular on the period after 1975,
when the issue of a republic became a prominent and increasingly
fixed term on the political agenda. This book will be essential
reading for all those with an interest in political and
intellectual history. It calls for a higher level of public debate
about the republic and makes an outstanding contribution to this
debate itself.
