The 3AW Archive.

5 Nov, 1999. It's the day before the public vote on The Australian republic referendum. It's a two-question referendum to amend the Constitution of Australia. The first question asks whether Australia should become a republic with a President appointed by Parliament. The second question asked whether Australia should alter the Constitution to insert a preamble.
Now, on the eve of the referendum, former political opponents and Prime Ministers in their own rights Gough Whitlam and Malcom Fraser join forces to urge the nation to vote for a republic. Listen here for edited highlights of their speeches.
