Debate reveals 'stark division' between Kiwis, politicians and experts weigh in
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says yes, in her lifetime - but not under her Government.
Regardless, the low-level debate has begun - revealing a "stark division" between Kiwis.
It wasn't long after Queen Elizabeth II's death the debate on whether or not Aotearoa should become a republic began and Ardern was asked if it was something the Labour Government will seek to do.
"I do believe that New Zealand will become a republic in my lifetime but I don't believe there is a sense of urgency from New Zealanders, so it's not something we are pursuing or intend to pursue," she said.
National leader Christopher Luxon is on the same page - he too expects a change in his lifetime.
