Support for a republic has dropped to 46 per cent in the wake of Queen Elizabeth’s death, results that would doom a referendum to failure.

An exclusive Resolve poll conducted for The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald shows support is lowest among women, with 59 per cent opposing any change to a republic.

Victoria is the only state with majority support, with just over 50 per cent supporting the change in that state. So why are we seemingly so opposed to cutting ties with the British monarchy?

Today on Please Explain, chief political correspondent David Crowe joins Bianca Hall to discuss what could be behind our reticence to form a republic.

Will Australia ever become a republic?

This week in politics was dominated by the tragedy of gendered violence, and what measures the Albanese government will adopt to tackle it. Hit by a wave of national anger over a spate of murders of women by men, the PM convened an emergency National Cabinet meeting on Wednesday. So what did he announce, and how much can the federal government do on this issue of domestic violence?

We also examine how a released immigration detainee was able to allegedly attack and severely beat a 77-year-old woman in Perth. Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil said the public’s safety was the government’s priority. But now she is facing calls to resign, along with Immigration Minister Andrew Giles.

Joining Jacqueline Maley to discuss is national political correspondent David Crowe, and federal reporters Natassia Chrysanthos and Angus Thomson.

Nearly 200 years ago, the industrial revolution radically upended how people experienced the world - where they lived, what work they did, and the sort of stress they endured. And now? We’re on the precipice of the next industrial revolution.
