Anthony Albanese warned republicans that staging a vote on Australia’s future head of state was not imminent.
Anthony Albanese has said he has no issues swearing allegiance to King Charles III during a public oath at this weekend’s historic coronation service and warned republicans that staging a vote on Australia’s future head of state was not imminent.
It is the first time Australians and citizens of other Commonwealth nations will be invited to actively take part during a coronation ceremony and raise “a chorus of millions of voices” supporting “their undoubted King, defender of all”. Leaders of the Australian push to ditch the monarchy said on Tuesday they wanted the prime minister to remain silent when guests at the coronation are invited to pledge allegiance to the new monarch.Albanese said he believed Australia should have an Australian as its own head of state but also believed there was not yet a groundswell of grassroots support for the change and addressing climate change, improving Australia’s economy and further engaging in the Indo-Pacific was more important.
“ I think that we’ve got to be able to laugh at ourselves,” Albanese said. “But a bit like rewriting some books. It is what it is at the time.“That’s the context and I think that the idea of cancel culture is, in my view, a sad development because you often can get, as well, the pile on of social media. And you see happen so often and things quite often too are taken out of context.”
