Is it time NZ became a Republic? Royal tour reignites debate over monarchy's future down under

The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald

Should or shouldn’t New Zealand become a republic? It’s a quandary that’s sparked fierce debate over decades, and it’s back on the agenda as King Charles heads down under for his first tour – but is skipping New Zealand. With his visit prompting debate over in Australia, is it time for New Zealand to consider becoming a republic? Today on The Front Page, Republic NZ’s Peter Hamilton joins us to discuss this issue and what a monarchy-free New Zealand could look like. We did invite Monarchy NZ to participate in this discussion, but they declined. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
