Australian Republican Debate - ABC, 1998

The Australian republican debates held in the Old Parliament House in Canberra took place in the late 1990s, specifically in 1998. These debates were significant as they centered around the issue of whether Australia should become a republic and sever its ties with the British monarchy. They culminated in the 1999 Australian republic referendum, in which the majority of Australians voted against replacing the monarchy with a republic.
