I would have lost if I'd taken "Things I Never Saw Coming For $500" when I read earlier today that Barnaby Joyce has supported a referendum on the Republic.
Surely to many Nationals voters this kind of talk is akin to heresy, but there it is.
A Newspoll in August this year showed more Coalition voters favour an Australian head of State (48%) than oppose (43%)
But wait, there's more.
If Prince Charles was to become King, the figures show 56% backing a republic and only 36% opposed. Sorry Charlie.
This has been discussed before and until the move is made it will stay on the agenda, only this time there appears to be a much stronger feeling that the time is coming, quickly.
So what do you say?
