    Professor Jenny Hocking on the Palace letters

    Join us as we speak to Professor Jenny Hocking: the woman who led and won the battle for the National Archives of Australia to release the “Palace letters” about the dismissal of Gough Whitlam in 1975. The letters not only revealed far more royal involvement in Australian politics than Professor Hocking had imagined, with her book The Palace Letters is described as a detective story and courtroom drama with political intrigue and a royal cover-up. And yes, it’s non-fiction.

    Andrew Fraser on what’s on the horizon for the sunshine state

    Andrew Fraser is a former journalist who was Queensland bureau chief of a national newspaper and a member of the Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery during the Hawke-Keating era. He was a political adviser and speechwriter to several Queensland governments. Today he’s the ARM QLD Branch Convenor, and says: "To get specifically onto the subject of the republic, in 1999, Queensland had the worst result. 37.5%. Yes. I think probably the main reason was that it was actually seen as a trendy lefty Sydney, Melbourne thing…" Today, Queensland is sporting a very different outlook. Hear about what’s on the horizon for the sunshine state… To contact Andrew Fraser regarding the campaign in Queensland please email qld@republic.org.au
