Majority of MPs back republic: ARM
There is now support for a republic among a majority of federal MPs in both houses, according to the Australian Republican Movement.
On the eve of the movement's 25th anniversary dinner, to be attended by former chair and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, it has released figures showing 81 lower house members and 40 senators back the cause.
"Malcolm Turnbull has a unique chance to put the republican cause firmly back at the centre of the national agenda," the group's chair Peter FitzSimons said on Friday.
