We, the people: Australian republican government

by George Winterton

The fate of the referendum to establish an Australian republic will largely depend on the specific changes proposed. We, the People makes a major contribution to the debate. We, the People includes a complete draft republican constitution, which could well serve as a model for a future Australian constitution, and offers analysis by leading political scientists on changes necessary to achieve good republican government. It also takes a wider historical and comparative perspective with an important analysis of European republicanism and the German Presidency. This important book, with contributions from both republicans and monarchists, is essential reading for those who wish to contribute to the debate about Australia's future and to understand the implications of an Australian republic.
