A Sydney Morning Herald poll has revealed the current dysfunction surrounding the Royal Family may be the reason more Australians are deciding to support a republic.

Some voters say Prince Harry’s recent revelations have turned them off the idea of Australia being tied to the monarchy.

Sandy Biars Australian Republic Movement National Director says it’s concerning that Australia’s constitutional system is based on the Royal Family’s current rocky foundation.

“We have an opportunity now to have a national conversation over the coming years about why we should become a republic – it’s an important time in the debate,” Mr Biars told Gary Adshead.
