Expert Solution
¡ For a long time, the debate on whether Australia should become a republic country compared to its long constitutional monarchy system has remained. Since the 1999 referendum on the same by which 55% of the voters decided against the country's republic venture.
¡ Then, most people's decision against the country becoming a republic was tied to the lack of a proper model for which the government would cut ties with the British monarchy to become an independent regime.
