About The First Republic
A NATION REBORN. A PRESIDENT UNDER THREAT. In this gripping "what if" scenario, Australia has severed ties with the Monarchy, and stepped into uncertain territory. In a defining moment of history, Australia has become a republic. At the helm of this new era is Merindah Bradley, an Indigenous leader whose rise marks both progress and peril. But at a time of celebration, not everyone is ready to embrace the future. As thousands gather in Canberra for the inaugural Republic Day celebrations, Merindah prepares to deliver the most important speech of her life. Then comes the warning: someone wants her dead. Old enemies emerge. A conspiracy unfolds, reaching from the corridors of Parliament House to the ranks of the AFP. And among those plotting her downfall are patriots who claim to defend the nation by destroying its leader. The First Republic is a political thriller that asks: What would happen if Australia chose to stand on its own? And who would fight to stop it?
