What’s Happening on Q+A Tonight Thursday 15 September on ABC TV
What’s Happening on Q+A Tonight Thursday 15 September on ABC TV; The Queen is the only monarch most Australians have ever known. So what does the country’s loss of her mean? Is it appropriate to bring up the topic of a republic again? If not right away, when?
A Voice to Parliament is attainable as we consider the complicated legacy of the monarchy in Australia. In a nation where sovereignty is in question, what does the emergence of a new king mean for concepts of sovereignty? How does a democratic country deal with the notion of hereditary power?
More than just a new head of state on our coins, a new monarch has deeper meanings. At a time when the world is in upheaval, democracy is in jeopardy, and Commonwealth nations are dealing with significant domestic and international challenges, King Charles takes the throne. So what function does royalty serve at this point?

Teela Reid, Wiradjuri and Wailwan lawyer
Simon Longstaff, Executive Director, The Ethics Centre
Sisonke Msimang, Award-winning writer
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Author and historian
