ABC Report: The Swan-Turnbull Republican Alliance

Wayne Swan and Malcolm Turnbull have formed an unholy Alliance to promote some form of as yet undefined and un-detailed politicians' republic.

Co-launching a book on the issue, they were unable to give any details of what they were proposing.

He thought there would be little support for the Swan-Turnbull Republic
