| KEVIN RUDD declared that Australia becoming a republic was inevitable as he dismissed Liberal Party complaints that his weekend 2020 Summit was a Keating-style, left-wing gabfest stacked with republicans.
Mr Rudd said the desire for a republic at the 2020 summit was overwhelming and "there was a sense of inevitability" about it. The monarchists could have had their say had they attended, he said.
"I'm not so sure a whole bunch of monarchists applied ," Mr Rudd told the 7.30 Report.
"I mean, they would have been entirely welcome to, and I'm sure they'll have their say, but the key thing is this: Australia of the 21st century will be a republic."
Mr Rudd's bold declaration is likely to inflame the matter further after the governance group at the summit voted for a two-stage process of plebiscites to make the country a republic.
