It is also interesting to note that I read somewhere (can't remember where) that the Liberal party, lead by John Howard, was actually more pro-republic than the almost (if not) socialist Labour party led by Rudd.
Although I have no source for this, since I can't remember where I read it or if it was an entirely accurate statement.
