On Thursday, 18 November 2010, Professor A.J. Brown stated at the Queensland Australian Republican Movement AGM held in the old Queensland Legislative Council chamber that “the ARM is the only group in modern Australia to be carrying on the role championed in the 1890s by the ANA.” Certainly the Australian Natives’ Association was instrumental in supporting the ‘people movement’ that spurred on the Federation Movement of the 1890s. It is today’s ARM that champions the peoples’ movement for an independent Australia, writes Glenn Davies.The peoples’ movements of Australia

The Eureka Stockade brought the issue of republicanism and revolution dramatically into the public spotlight. I want to argue that republican ideas were at play in the events leading up to the Stockade, and that the Stockade became a republican symbol because it contained the stirrings of a new sense of Australian nationalism.
