"His Majesty, as a constitutional monarch, acts on the advice of his ministers and whether Australia becomes a republic is, therefore, a matter for the Australian public to decide."The ARM has praised the "important contribution" of the royal family, saying they would want the two countries to remain "the closest of friends and allies".But in their letter, they said it was time for their country to stand "on an equal footing with other nations".
