The Movement was formerly called the Republican Coalition of New Zealand, but changed its name in 1999 as a result of the renewed interest in republicanism due to the Australian referendum on the same issue. The Republican Movement is not to be confused with the Republic Aotearoa New Zealand Party or the now defunct Republican Party.
