Formed in 1942, the Monarchist League has always had a presence
in Australia, albeit a fairly small one at times. However over
the last decade the League attracted a support base in excess of
15,000 and became a very active participant in the Debate on
Australia's constitutional future.
The League has only one criterion, to retain The Australian
Crown in the Australian Constitution. Over the past decade it
has done everything within its power to safeguard our
monarchical symbols, traditions and heritage.
The League has been particularly successful in organising
lobbying and protest campaigns defending the honour of our
Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and protecting the
integrity of the Australian Crown.
Ignored by media and Governments alike, we have nevertheless
established a track record unsurpassed by any other organisation
as the following list will indicate.
Although receiving no funding from the Government, it is with a
sense of pride that we can say that it was us who, during the
Referendum Campaign:
-
met urgent requests received from throughout the country for
the supply of leaflets for letter box drops printing over
two million leaflets.
-
by ourselves, took the Australian Electoral Commission to
the Federal Court to seek redress against guidelines to
scrutineers which allowed such marks as a tick to be
accepted as a 'YES' whilst rejecting a cross as informal.
-
led the active How to Vote No campaign against the Preamble.
-
requested churches throughout the country to pray for the
well being of the Nation prior to the Referendum.
