Senator Cox, with respect, there isn't bipartisan support on a republic. With respect, there isn't. I've been on record many years as being a supporter of a republic, but there is not bipartisan support. What we know from history, as opposed to talking about it in this place, is that constitutional reform is hard. It is particularly hard when we're in a hyperpartisan world where we know that there is no way that Mr Dutton, whose reflex and focus is always to say no, always to be negative and always to run a scare campaign, would be supportive of it.

I'll take the interjection. This is correct. They're not going to be supportive of it. (Time expired)
