Senator Faruqi has called for the Prime Minister to cut all ties with the monarchy. The time for republic is now. Lines attributable to Senator Mehreen Faruqi, Deputy Leader of the Greens and spokesperson for the Republic: “Prime Minister Albanese writing to the UK to support removing ex-Prince Andrew from the line of succession is not leadership.
It is a humiliating reminder that Australia is still shackled to a corrupt and crumbling royal family. “Rather than pleading with a foreign government to clean up its messes, Australia should be cutting ties altogether and choosing its own head of state. “Ex-Prince Andrew is the product of a rotten institution built on inherited privilege, secrecy and impunity.
“Australia needs to confront the bigger truth that the monarchy is an outdated, unaccountable institution built on colonial violence and stolen wealth. The latest horrific scandal is not an aberration. It is a symptom of a broken system that is not fit to represent us.
“You cannot polish a rotten crown. The time for a republic is now. Instead of writing letters, Albanese should begin the process of constitutional change, led by First Nations voices."
