Do You Think There Has Been a Shift in Public Opinion Since the Referendum of 1999?
Answer
Most definitely. Whilst many of those who voted “NO” in 1999, have died, many younger people have consistently indicated in polls and elsewhere that they are against change to our system. It is therefore probable that if a referendum were to be held in 2009, the vote against a republic would be higher than in 1999. That vote, when taken on an electoral basis, actually equated to 72% of federal electorates voting "NO”!
