TURNBULL

"Here we have created the most successfull multicultural society in the world. No comparable nation has so many of its people born beyond its borders or from such a diversity of cultures, religions and races."

 

E le o suia ai le talitonuga o Malcolm Turnbull i le tatau ona avea se tagatanuu ausetalia ma Ao o lona Malo..

 

TURNBULL

"Now the vast majority of Australians have known no other head of state than the Queen. She was so admired and respected that few of us can say, whether monarchists or republicans, that we are not Elizabethans. I do not believe that Australians would welcome, let alone support another Republic referendum during her reign."

 

O le faatonu o le Republican Movement i le taimi nei o Tim Mayfield, ma na ia ta'ua a faia se palota faalauaitele e tele le avanoa e malo ai le mau mo se Republic ona ua lagolagoina e le pelamia ma le taitai o le ituagai.

"I think the signs are really good. Of course any Constitutional reform requires political will and with the prime minister as well as the Opposition aligned now on the issue of a Republic, that's a really great start. Polling is already above 50 percent according to the most recent Newspoll on the issue and from a movement perspective, our membershup ranks have been rising steadily over the last 18 months."
