As One Nation's rise transforms Australian politics, supporters of a republic believe the party's surging nationalism could deal it back into the national conversation.
Or at least that's the hope, after Anthony Albanese shut the door on a republic in the wake of his failed Voice vote.
Republicans were buoyed by Labor's return to office in 2022 and the establishment of a ministerial portfolio to explore a republic, more than two decades on from the lost 1999 referendum.
However, Mr Albanese - a lifelong republican - last year argued the time had come to focus on "practical differences to peoples' lives" like cost of living issues.
That decision enraged many Labor members, given support for a republic has been in the party's platform for decades.
