As royals touch down, new poll shows most Aussies want a republic

The survey, released as Prince Harry and his new wife Meghan arrive for their first tour of Australia, shows all age groups believe the nation should become a republic with an Australian head of state. The independent poll of 1000 Australians, commissioned by the Australian Republic Movement, found 52.4 per cent want a republic. Of those polled, 25.2 per cent weren't sure of the need for change, with 22.4 per cent against or strongly against a future as a republic.
