This week Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating visits Britain, and a stay at Balmoral is on the itinerary. Will he discuss with the Queen his plans to turn Australia into a republic? In this special report his predecessor, the charismatic Bob Hawke, assesses Keating's vision of independence. Will his aim of cutting the ties with the old country end in tears? Or can Britain learn anything from its offspring's desire to break free of the monarchy? Hawke's report includes an exclusive gloves-off interview with his bitter rival.
