About us.
Working collaboratively, as RMIT student journalists we are looking to encapsulate the Australian landscape, and ask the question; Should Australia become a republic?

As a group we wanted to present multiple views, and answer specific questions that may help educate young Australians on the question of whether Australia should severe ties with the British Monarchy.
While this is presented as an independant online publication/blog it would be pitched as a series of pieces that could be used by media outlets such as the Guardian or the ABC.
