The Australian Republican Movement (ARM) has launched a campaign branding King Charles's upcoming visit to Australia as the "farewell tour" of the British monarchy.

They say the tongue-in-check push is aimed at sparking debate about the role of the Crown in modern Australia .

The royal tour, from 18 to 26 October, marks the first visit from a monarch down under in more than a decade .

It also comes a year after Australia 's unsuccessful Voice to Parliament referendum, which many say has stalled momentum for another referendum.
