Duration: 60 minutes
Has the world changed, or have I changed? The death of Queen Elizabeth II after her seventy-year reign has prompted renewed debate about monarchy, sovereignty and republicanism. Few are better equipped than Stan Grant to answer these questions and undertake a poignant reckoning with Australia’s colonial past and its hopes for the future.
