ACM’s 23rd National Conference:
Still Defending the Constitution
Supporters and members are cordially invited to the Sydney Stage of ACM’s 23rd National Conference on Wednesday, 9 November from 2 pm at 280 Pitt Street Sydney*.
We have cut prices to the bone, $20 (concessions $10).
Described by Tony Abbott as the ‘fiercest defenders’ of the Constitution, ACM remains the only organisation on either side in this struggle:
- to hold a national conference every year since the referendum,
- not to have deviated from our fundamental principles and sound arguments,
- to have brutally cut overheads to ensure most funds go directly to informing and educating Australians, especially the young, and
- with the experience of actually winning a referendum campaign, prevailing in our campaign to restore NSW Governors to Government House)** and ensuring that other governments do not follow NSW.
A key theme of the conference, held in association with the Melbourne-based Monarchist League in Australia, will be a report of the ACM delegation to the Albanese government over the increasingly discredited three-decade old plan to replace our crowned republic with a politicians’ republic.
In response, the ACM delegation, which included three of ACM’s Young Ambassadors, presented a detailed submission arguing that the government’s constitutional priority should rather be to ensure that the collapse of checks and balances on the exercise of government power during Covid is never again repeated.
In examining that issue, we will be presenting exclusive contributions on this important issue from 28th Prime Minister Tony Abbott and the nation’s leading broadcaster, Alan Jones, as well as Alan’s colleague on Australia’s exciting new media platform ADHTV, Fred Pawle.
In addition, John Howard will play a keynote role.
As the 25th Prime Minister, he offered what could not have been a fairer opportunity for the Australian people to determine their constitutional future. In an exclusive interview, he will expand on this and on the life of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as well as responding to questions on our constitutional future.
As to the crucial role of the Crown as Reserve Constitutional Guardian, Lt Col Peter O’Brien will provide an expert briefing. He is the author of the recent, highly authoritative book, book, Villain or Victim, defending the Reserve Powers and Sir John Kerr.

We do look forward to seeing you at the Conference,
David Flint
National Convenor
