Australia's Governor-General has suggested the country could become a republic after the Queen dies.
The Queen's representative to Australia, David Hurley, was in London for the Jubilee celebrations honouring her 70 years of service where he was asked about the chances of Australia ditching ties with the monarchy.
'I think at the moment people centre on the Queen, and then when she goes, when she passes, then the succession comes in, there's a new discussion in Australia,' he told reporters.
