The article claims that at the time of the 1999 referendum, a majority of Australians supported becoming a republic. That in itself needs a citation, however the statistics used in that sentence (namely A January 2007 Newspoll survey shows that 45% of Australians favour or partly favour Australia becoming a republic, with 36% opposed and 19% uncommitted.) are misleading as they were generated some 8 years after the referendum. I have removed the statistics accordingly. However, if you want the statistics in the article, then please don't come whingeing to my talk page and instead just rewrite the article appropriately.

The Arguments section is currently severely lacking - it does not list any actual arguments but simply states what the movement is proposing. An argument is not what the movement wants, as that is already covered in the rest of the article, it is the reasons why they want it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rikeus (talk • contribs) 07:54, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Assuming that the ARM was not founded in July 1991, following the Australian Labor Party's adoption of republicanism as a policy at its conference in June of that year. And that in 1993, the Republic Advisory Committee created by the Keating Labor government, didn't lay the foundations for proposed Constitutional change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.208.226.40 (talk) 13:57, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

A lot of people may not know that Australia is somehow in the dominion of the queen and the British royals. I don't know enough about this to explain it. But the intro as it is now doesn't provide much of a clue to it. It would be a big improvement (and easy) if someone who understands it would write a sentence or two to explain the current situation. Thanks if you can help.CountMacula (talk) 15:41, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
A lot has been discussed in the article on the effect of transitioning to a republic on a federal level, but should we discuss what implications would arise for a state level? Do any sources mention what would happen if the subnational states remained monarchical, say the Governor of Queensland still being the viceregal representative of the King, but then having an independent federal President? Does the republic movement cover whether the state governors would assume the structure of state governors in the US, with a Lieutenant Governor as the understudy? What about the potential federal office of Vice-President and establishing a Presidential line of succession which would be required. It seems like a lot of important details either haven't been considered by republicans, or we have not come across adequate sources to support further details. 203.46.132.214 (talk) 06:53, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
