Turnbull on the republic

Credit to Malcolm Turnbull for recognising the folly of Kevin Rudd’s idea to hold another referendum on whether Australia should become a republic.

Turnbull, who led the failed “yes” campaign, told Channel Nine there should not be another referendum until the Queen’s reign has ended.

He is not only being pragmatic, Turnbull is also showing respect for the previous referendum result and for the Queen.
