Monarchists head for win, but dare not mention the Queen

Article Abstract:

Australia's monarchists are taking care not to mention the Royal Family in the run-up to their country's constitutional referendum, as they are aware that many Australians oppose the Royal Family. Instead, they have linked themselves with a splinter group of republicans who are strongly against the style of republic envisaged and would therefore rather retain the existing system. Australians for Constitutional Monarchy, Australia's main monarchist organization, has succeeded in creating fear and confusion among nervous voters, and it now seems almost certain that the referendum will be defeated.

Australia poised to say no to republican dream

Article Abstract:

Opinion polls indicate that Australians are set to vote against a proposal to replace the Queen and the Governor-General with an Australian President nominated by the public and appointed by two-thirds of parliament. In fact, two-thirds of Australians want a republic, but they are opposed to the type of republic being offered. Many republicans believe that the head of state should be directly elected by ordinary people, and for this reason they are rejecting this proposal.
