| | Beazley should be leader, says poll - theage.com.au |
| | Mr Whitlam said Mr Beazley had failed to defend the principle of "one vote, one value" in his home state by allowing significant gerrymanders. | | | But despite strong voter support for Mr Beazley, he was last night severely criticised by Labor elder statesman Gough Whitlam, who picked up Mr Howard's line that Mr Beazley lacks "ticker". | | | Today's AgePoll of 1400 voters, taken at the weekend, found that 43 per cent of all voters believed Mr Beazley was the best person to lead the ALP. |

| | No Republic! Australians for Constitutional Monarchy - Kim Beazley Endorses Latham Model |
| | Kim Beazley has thrown his support behind the Latham model where a directly elected president would be at the head of an Australian republic, according to a report, "Let Voters Choose President: Beazley", by Steve Lewis, chief political reporter for The Australian in its 21 October, 2005 issue. | | | He said it would be important to "codify" the powers of an elected head of state so the 1975 constitutional crisis could not be repeated. | | | In the meantime, three politicians, Liberal senator Mitch Fifield, Labor frontbencher Nicola Roxon and Democrat Senator Natasha Stott Despoja are hoping to revive interest in republicanism. |
