Sydney, June 9 : Australian support for the monarchy has hit a 25-yr high, a new poll has found.
According to the Roy Morgan poll conducted during the regent's Diamond Jubilee celebration, 58 per cent of Australians support the monarchy, which is a six per cent increase compared to last year October results, while support for a republic slid two points down to 35 per cent.
Tasmanian Liberal senator and avowed monarchist Eric Abetz said the week of celebrations had confirmed Australians' affection for their sovereign.
"This shows that Australians understand the value of stability of the monarchy as a unifying institution," the Herald Sun quoted Senator Abetz, as saying.
"As Australians celebrate the Queen's birthday and Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee, we should give thanks for the monarchy as a stabilising and enduring institution and for Her Majesty's life of dedicated service," he added.
