Anthony Albanese has declared he will never hold another referendum after dining with King Charles III at the monarch’s Scottish castle. Mr Albanese spent the seventh day of his 10-day trip abroad flying from London to Scotland for an audience with the King and lunch at Balmoral. Mr Albanese appeared to suggest he had learnt an electoral lesson. “I still see an Australian Republic as likely, as long as it’s fought for,” Mr Albanese said in 2019. “He is fully aware that I support an Australian as our Head of State,” Mr Albanese said.
