Hey, media? I'll make you a deal.
You stop printing conservative press releases as if they were news, correct, or meaningful, and I'll promise to try to take you a little bit more seriously.
This includes you, ABC.
FFS.
By my count, that's almost 60% for a republic, versus 31% vehemently against.
And despite David Flint's fever dreams of relevance, that is not overwhelming support for his side.
I'll leave discussion for another time on whether this is further evidence for or against the proposition that the ABC is biased against conservatives.

But only 29 per cent of people believed Australia should become a republic as soon as possible, with 31 per cent saying Australia should never become a republic.For a start, they don't mention the ‘I don't know’s. But assuming that they're negligible, hell... assuming the ‘IDK’ is 10%, that leaves 31% with “No republic ever”, an assumption of 10% “Buggered if I know/care”, 29% as “WE HAVE TO DO IT NOW!!!”, leaving about 30% for the remaining option: “Yes, republic, but we can wait to get it right.”
