Republican Debate

100 years ago tomorrow (Wednesday) New Zealand effectively gained independence and become a Dominion instead of a Colony.

Incidentally 26 September is the day I would like to turn into New Zealand Day, keeping Waitangi Day also.

Anyway no better day than the 100th anniversary of (sort of) independence to have a debate on republicanism.

So in Auckland on Wednesday from 6 pm, there is a debate between the Republican Movement and the Monarchists League (plus Auckland University Debating Society) on whether it is time for us to become a republic.

The (free) debate is at the Pioneer Women’s Hall, cnr High Street and Freyberg Place, Auckland.
