Victorian independence movement

Victorian independence movement

The Victorian Independence Movement is a movement in Australia for the state of Victoria to break away from Australia. The idea was born in 1999 when Victoria was the only state to vote for a republic in the national referendum. The movement has yet to gain any official recognition, has died down since the 1999 referendum, and is now virtually non existent.

In 2005 a softened version of the Victorian Independence Movement idea was revived and now stands for the push for the overthrowing of the Monarchy and other Victorian based left-winged issues rather than the independence of Victoria.
